What happens to the body after death?
According to Dr. Ivanovic's explanations, the processes of decay in the human body begin relatively soon after death occurs. About a few hours later, microorganisms associated with the breakdown of tissues begin to develop.
As this process progresses, the number of bacteria that can be shed from the body increases. This is why the doctor warns of the potential risk of direct contact, including kissing.
What could be the risks?
According to the specialist, various reactions in the body may occur upon contact with these microorganisms. One of the risks mentioned is related to olfactory disorders - partial or even significant loss of the ability to perceive odors.
Although such cases are not widespread, they should not be completely ignored, especially when it comes to direct contact with the face or lips.
It is important to note that the degree of risk may depend on various factors:
how much time has passed since death occurred
the storage conditions of the body
the general health of the person who has contact
"Don't kiss the dead" – a message that shook the internet
In his video, Dr. Ivanovic issues a direct warning: avoid kissing deceased people.
