What eats us when were dead
What eats us while were sitting in the casket 6 feet under?
Dont just tell me "Oh, various bacterias" I want names. And pictures. Pictures of these creatures in action. Good day.. thank you |
Not very much. The formaldehyde kills damned near everything that was in you when you go in the box, and if you are in a wood covered metal box, there isn't much that can get to you afterwards.

Kinda OT..
..but I REALLY want to see what an exhumed body looks like. I can NOT for the life of me find pictures anywhere. I'm talkin... if someone was buried in 1990 and you dug them up today what they'd look like. Does anyone know where I can find pictures such as this? Not only am I incredibly curious about this, but I'd also like to get an idea for a realistic zombie costume for this year's halloween. ;) |
Warning!
If you have a weak stomach, do not visit this link. There are pictures of dead people in various states of decay. I'm not kidding. Stay the ehck out you need to see dead people. http://periciales.pgjebc.gob.mx/semefo.htm Click "Entrar", then choose a town. |

I found a few other links about what eats us and what happens when we die. http://www.deathonline.net/decomposi...auna/index.htm http://www.deathonline.net/decomposi...rmentation.htm http://adipocere.homestead.com/images.html http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...G=Search&meta= |
very interesting links and good pictures on all of them. Links showing corpses in varying conditions of decay are always something I will click on.

There's a place called the Body Farm, and CNN did a report on them:

I've heard that we are actually lasting longer because of all the persuravitives (sp?) we eat. Not sure if it's true - but an interesting thouhgt.

Interesting information on the Body Farm.. A great idea
|
Discovery (?) has a show featuring the body farm. it was pretty interesting. I don't remember what the title was.
If you do a search on Death's Acre, you'll find a bunch of links for books. |
you should consider reading "stiff" -- i finished it a couple of months ago and was fascinated thorough out.

I saw an episode of CSI where someone dumped a body at a forensics body farm hoping it'd just blend in with the other bodies nearby.. didn't work... Great episode.
Very interesting stuff in those links... |
I have wittnessed exsumed bodies that had been buried for 10 and 20 years.
A good quality casket (Batesville) kept out the moisture and insects. The body looked as if it had just been buried. A poor quality casket, showed massive amounts of decay. Mositure is the enemy and allows insects and fungus to grow and eat away the body tissues. Obviously, an unprotected body (in the elements) will be invaded by anything. Flies, animals and of course our own natural PH chemical reactions ( which by embalming, stops this process). Our bodies are "programmed" to decay naturally. An enzyme is produced the minute our body stops receiving O2. This causes the protien to begin to solidify. An after effect of this protien gas is rigormortis and odor. Even after we die, our bodies still continue to function by default. I think that is amazing. |
Speaking of the body farm, it is a really cool place. Only a few miles from my house, too. (I was actually going to post about it, but got beat to it.)
A teacher at my highschool actually took a field trip there. Of course, you had to have parent's permission and such. While we were there, I remember specifically a body in a tree, and a few just lying around among others. I have to say, it was the strangest field trip ever. |
Just got back from vacation found this thread....When I was a student at the University of TN i had a chance to visit the body farm, it was indeed a very interesting place.
