THC can you boil the Persei to sterilize it?
I wanted to answer this question, but there is already answers here.
Boiling in water for fifteen minutes will kill most vegetative bacteria and inactivate viruses, but boiling is ineffective against prions and many bacterial and fungal spores; therefore boiling is unsuitable for sterilization. However, since boiling does kill most vegetative microbes and viruses, it is useful for reducing viable levels if no better method is available. Boiling is a simple process, and is an option available to most people, requiring only water, enough heat, and a container that can withstand the heat; however, boiling can be hazardous and cumbersome.

To properly sterilize you would need a Autoclave.
Now my question would be, what part of the Persei are you interested in sterilizing?
