Can a Final Kiss Be Risky?
A farewell kiss can feel deeply meaningful—but under certain conditions, it may carry health risks.
Dr. Viktor Ivanovik, a Moldovan physician with a large TikTok following, went viral after warning against kissing deceased loved ones, especially if they died from infectious illnesses. Though rare, transmission of harmful bacteria or viruses after death is possible.
While traditions like kissing or holding the deceased offer comfort and closure, public health experts urge caution during outbreaks or when infections like tuberculosis, hepatitis, or certain fevers are involved.
When in doubt, consult a doctor or funeral professional. And consider safe alternatives—like placing a flower, writing a letter, or lighting a candle.
Ultimately, the most important part of saying goodbye is the love and meaning behind the gesture—not the gesture itself.
