...chances are the blood and body fluids are going to seep out down into the property all the way to the foundation, so you're talking through the carpet, the padding, the floor and whatever else. If that's the case, we've got to go in, get structural cleanup, every last bit of contamination. Then we issue a certificate when we're done so they can have confidence that things were done the right way and perhaps resume living at the residence or have confidence selling it or renting out the room again. That's the physical side...
...lights, we go top to bottom, left to right, like an inch from the wall, just looking over everything. And that's part of the physical side, but it's also the extra step we take to take care of the psychological side. We did a cleanup of a suicide in someone's living room. It was a young kid - he was 18. This was right near Christmas, and there was tissue everywhere from the gun blast. Unfortunately, we had to throw away the tree.

The more dopamine that gets left in the spaces between cells, the longer its rewarding effect on the brain - and the likelier it is to lay down the roots of addiction. As Volkow and Fowler suspected, the PET scans of the men who had taken modafinil showed that dopamine transporters were indeed being blocked by the drug and overall levels were rising...
...there is anything that has so far prevented modafinil from becoming as widely abused - and as highly addictive - as some drugs, it's that it appears to lack the one-two punch of many other stimulants. Amphetamines, for example, don't just block the cleanup function of the dopamine transporters but actually boost overall dopamine output at the same time. That's a little like discontinuing your trash pickup at the same time you double the amount you're throwing away. Modafinil stops at step one - canceling the garbage trucks...
