* AdultFear: When [[ItMakesSenseInContext the military has Ruby's brother Dan killed]], they proceed to make a "[[BlanketFort dan nest]]" of lake weeds, making it look as though Dan built one (he's mentioned to love making them) near the lake right before the rain, then got infected. It's not that bad, until it hits the reader that that means the military has files on Ruby's family, and knows them, for how else would they know Dan builds nests of blankets?

* BerserkButton: Don't tell Ruby about the (highly plausible) possibility her dad is dead. Darius ends up pressing this a few times and gets screamed at.

!!H2O contains examples of:
* FateWorseThanDeath: Getting infected causes this. Your skin becomes weak and easily clawed away, and you get a horrible itching everywhere, which can't be relieved by scratching. The process slowly and painfully gores you from the inside, and it is guaranteed to cause death. You can't even be sure of having a proper burial, because touching your body can get someone infected too.
* GrimyWater: Getting even a single drop of water on you causes the bacteria to begin eating you, resulting in [[BloodyHorror mass bleeding and horrible itching]], and it's incurable, only ending when you inevitably die from it. The bacterium spreads quickly too, and if a single drop falls in a body of water, the entire body will become contaminated in minutes.
* NothingIsScarier: Ruby remarks about this after [[spoiler:an old man indirectly murders Simon.]] She hides in her house, constantly makes sure her lights aren't visible to outsiders, keeps checking for other home lights, and states she doesn't know whether finding another human would be scary or relieving.
* SkewedPriorities: Ruby has an obsession with remaining makeup, cleanliness, and lipstick after the apocalypse. Darius even [[Lampshading lampshades this]]
