Doctor Explains The Potential Health Hazards Of Kissing Deceased Loved Ones In Viral TikTok Video
Dr. Viktor Ivanovik, a Moldovan physician with over 1 million TikTok followers, has ignited significant discussions on the health risks associated with kissing the deceased. In a viral video, he emphasizes that the human body begins to undergo decomposition approximately nine hours post-mortem, which allows harmful bacteria from the body to be released into the environment.
According to reputable medical sources, exposure to these bacteria carries infection risks that can adversely impact one's immune system. Dr. Ivanovik highlights that a significant health concern is the potential loss of smell due to these pathogens, illustrating how the grieving process can lead to unintentional biohazardous exposure.
In his precautionary TikTok post, titled “Never kiss the deceased!”, Dr. Ivanovik calls attention to the necessity of adhering to public health guidelines during emotionally challenging times. He reminds families that expressing love and respect for a loved one does not necessitate direct contact with the remains and urges them to prioritize their own health when engaging in end-of-life rituals.
