You're right. Before hot water, when eating and cooking utensils were washed
(if washed at all) in cold water, pathogens multiplied and the human race
died off.

Home hot water cannot kill most bacteria and viruses.

I'll bet you don't even eat food that falls on the floor!

And some believe you need your water heater at 120 to kill the
pathogens,so I guess we are all going to die if we drink water from
city storage tanks
