3. Contact with Decomposing Fluids
During the first hours and days after death, the body begins to release fluids resulting from decomposition. These fluids not only have a strong odor but also contain harmful microorganisms. A kiss on the lips or on the skin of the deceased could expose the person to these substances, causing gastrointestinal discomfort or skin infections.
4. Respiratory Problems Due to Gases
The decomposition process also releases gases containing bacteria and toxins. By bringing your face too close to a deceased body, you can inhale these substances, which can cause respiratory irritation, dizziness, or even lung infections in vulnerable people.
