You're viewing a single thread.
Why is this even a concern? They're dead. Fuckin leave em. Let the aliens that defrost our planet in 2 million years figure out what to do with them
I'd say there's likely a public health concern with water and dead bodies mixing, at the very least.
Really, the embalming chemicals.
eh, animals die in the water in nature...
Drinking that or getting that into a wound is how you get sick, and my point entirely.
Corpse tea is not good for your health
Don't drink the sea water. It's already a bad idea.
There is an expression in research "dilution is the solution to pollution". The parts per billion exposure (but probably even lower) contamination that you might experience is not a public health crisis. You have drinking water in states contaminated with carcinogens. Ain't nobody got time to worry about seawater interfacing with a dead body.
You’re right, we should just ignore it, it’s probably fine.
You might feel differently if it was your child's grave.
Might not
The big story is the coastal erosion
