We tend to believe that with the last breath, all threats disappear. However, some viruses remain active for a while, especially if death is due to an infectious disease. Although the risks are generally limited, there is a period during which illnesses such as hepatitis or certain forms of influenza can still spread.

A few hours after death, the body naturally releases biological fluids. Often imperceptible, these secretions can contain germs or cause skin irritation. A caress on the face or a kiss on the mouth can be enough to come into contact with these invisible elements.
The environment as a potential source of discomfort
During the body’s transformation, certain gases are released, sometimes carrying bacterial particles. In an enclosed space, this can cause discomfort, such as headaches or nausea in sensitive individuals. Don’t panic; these effects are temporary and generally harmless, but this information is useful, especially for those who are more vulnerable.
