The infectoologist explains the risk of kissing or touching the body of a deceased person
The funeral of Preta Gil took place in the morning and early afternoon of Friday 25, at the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro and moved fans, family members and famous friends. In the videos circulating on social networks, it was possible to see the famous kiss of the singer of the singer in the farewell: Ivete Sangalo, Caio Blat, Regina Casé, Malu Mader and even his father, Gilberto Gil were some who made the gesture of affection.
Numerizen have filled the profiles that shared these videos of comments that warn on the risks of kissing a deceased person, who was confirmed by Professor Deda Ufrj, Edimilson Migowski.
“I understand the affection that people have for the person who has disappeared, but there is a change of this microbiota from the skin of a living person to a person who died, so if you analyze before and after death, there is a change with the increase in the proliferation of bacteria that have the potential to cause the disease, proliferating more in the dead people who lived”, he explains.
This is because changes in body temperature, nutrients on the skin change and a decomposition of the skin occur. “And then the bacteria that are more typical of the intestine begin to proliferate even in the skin of the dead person. So really this close contact should be avoided and should be discouraged,” he says.
As Preta Gil died five days ago, the expert says that this change can be more pronounced. “More or more time is the death of the person. There is another detail, Black Gil has been hospitalized and we don’t know exactly what kind of bacteria they were in the body when they were still in the hospital.
According to the infectoologist, the ideal is that you do not have this kiss contact and touches the person who died in the funeral. “If you have contacts for humanitarian or religious reasons or in mourning for which you spend a good hygiene later, avoiding this contact with your face with that of the dead person. Being very close to the eyes, nose and mouth, they are input doors and can acquire these bacteria and depend on immunocompetence, the person can get sick.”
People who find themselves in a moment of great stress or sadness, like when they lose a loved one, tend to have low immunity. “It is the type of equation that is not pleasant and we should avoid,” he concludes.
Preta Gil died on Sunday 20, at 59 years old in New York, where it was an alternative treatment for intestinal cancer, diagnosed in 2023.
