Consequences of kissing a deceased person: what you should know

 

The pain of losing someone close can lead us to act in ways we never imagined. In the midst of grief and despair, some people feel the need to give a final goodbye kiss to a loved one who has passed away. Although on an emotional level this may seem like a gesture of love, from a health perspective it represents a risk that is often overlooked.

The reality is that the human body, once it ceases to function, begins a process of decomposition that occurs much faster than we think. Therefore, coming into direct contact with a corpse, especially when kissing it, can have serious consequences for the person doing so.

Below, I’ll share with you, in a clear and simple way, the risks of kissing a deceased person:

When the body dies, the immune system’s defenses disappear. This means that the natural bacteria that lived in organs and tissues begin to multiply uncontrollably. Some of these bacteria may be harmless in life, but after death, they become dangerous. Kissing a corpse risks these bacteria entering the body and causing infections.

2. Possible Transmission of Active Viruses
