It seems to get almost that hot in my car when the windows are rolled up...maybe some kind of black bucket with a glass or plexi top? Still, I think I may opt for some heavy-duty plastic bags and a clandestine trip to a dumpster whenever possible. Unless you're sick, there shouldn't be any pathogens present in the first place. We've been conditioned to fear all microbes for the past few generations. In reality, there are very few pathogens out there, and most of those have a real hard time surviving outside the human body for any length of time, so don't worry; have fun sailing instead.
