I also decontaminate my mail before reading it. It could have come from anywhere, and who's to say the postman wasn't a sodomite? Better safe than sorry, that's what I always say.

This is my usual routine:

• Stamping (5 minutes) - I try first to stamp any potential AIDS off of the mail, this should get rid of most of it but there are still little AIDS molecules able to survive through this.
  
• Boiling water - I cover all of my mail in boiling water, this should burn out most of the germs.
  
• Microwave - I put the mail in the mircowave until it starts to set alight (which is a sign it is safe to read). Then I throw some water over it and just like that it's ready to open.

Sometimes my mail is damaged or unreadable but I place protecting my family above reading a boring letter sent by my whiney mother in my list of priorities.

PS. NEVER touch the mail with your hands until decontaminated, use tweezers as you have been doing, AIDS is a very dangerous disease and spreads quickly through your skin.
