When we lose someone close, we feel overwhelmed. Sadness and grief settle in our heart and the thought of never seeing that person again can be unbearable.
However, despite these feelings and the urge to kiss the person whom we lost, a doctor from Moldova, Dr. Viktor Ivanovik, shares the risks associated with kissing someone deceased. His video, in which he discusses this highly sensitive topic, has caused a widespread discussion and debate on social media.
According to him, around nine hours after someone dies, the body starts to decompose, a natural process during which bacteria from the decomposing tissues start to surface.
These bacteria can pose health risks to individuals who come into contact with the body, particularly through kissing.
He says he’s perfectly aware that this practice is seen as a final farewell and sort of respect towards the deceased person, but he believes people should be aware of the risk they put themselves into by unknowingly expose themselves to harmful pathogens.
As expected, people’s opinions were divided.
“I kissed my father and would do it again, no matter the risk! He is my father!” one person commented. Others, however, appreciated his advice and wrote they would reconsider their decision of kissing someone who has died as a final goodbye no matter the emotional connection they had with the deceased.
Dr. Ivanovik emphasized the issue of one’s sense of smell being affected if kissing someone who passed away.
The body’s decomposition can produce an unpleasant odor that might remain in one’s memory longer than expected. Some people report a significant change in their sense of smell and taste after such an act, adding another layer of complexity to the already emotional farewell experience.
“Honestly, I don’t think anyone can resist not kissing their parent on the hand or forehead one last time. I kissed my father’s hand for the last time,” a follower commented.

Barbra Streisand on Possibly Leaving the United States
Renowned singer and actor Barbra Streisand recently voiced her displeasure with the current government and her worries about a particular candidate’s chances of winning the president.
Having previously campaigned for Hillary Clinton, Streisand stated that she would leave the country if she were to win the presidency in an interview with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show.”
In response to a question about potential relocation, Streisand teasingly suggested England. She has talked about moving before. This is not the first time. She had also suggested Canada in 2016 as a possible destination in the event that the same candidate was elected president.
Recall that in 2016, Barbra Streisand made a vow to leave the nation if the candidate won, along with other famous people including Amy Schumer, Bryan Cranston, and Cher. But in the end, they decided to remain in the United States, regardless of the outcome of the election.
Even while talks and debates are frequently sparked by the voices of celebrities, it’s crucial to keep in mind that individual decisions about where to live are flexible and subject to change.
