This is a misconception!

People just dying like fowls nowadays...oh lord please guide and protect us

It does..

The decomposing corpse stench releases poisonous gas that are harmful to the body...

Unless you're a vulture...

With this vanity that is associated with life some people are still hell bent on stealing billions of naira or dollars when they cannot do anything with it when they are dead.
This life is really empty........
RIP

another decay body is now at oshodi where people enter motor going to mile 2. I don't understand the govt sef

Meaning Fashola was just a strong man that failed to build a strong system.

Unless you're a vulture...

The stench is just hydrogen sulfide and other nitrogeneus gas which will immediately disipate in the air.
No health hazard or epidemic unless you decide to pipe the noxious gas into your nose which can lead to suffocation.

Frequently Asked Questions on the management of cadavers 

 Information for the public  

 1. Do dead bodies cause epidemics?  

No. The bodies of people who have died in a disaster do not cause epidemics. In a disaster, people die as a result of injury, drowning or fire. They are not likely to have epidemic-causing diseases such as cholera, typhoid, malaria or plague when they die. In most cases, those who have survived are more likely to be spreading diseases.

 2. What are the health risks for the public?

Negligible, unless they are helping to move bodies. However, there is a small risk of diarrhoea from drinking water contaminated by faecal material from bodies. Routine disinfection of drinking water is sufficient to prevent water-borne diseases.

 3. Can dead bodies contaminate water?  

Potentially, yes. Dead bodies often leak faeces, which may contaminate rivers or other water sources with diarrhoeal diseases. However, people will generally avoid drinking water from any source they think has had dead bodies in it.

 4. Is spraying bodies with disinfectant or lime powder effective?  

No. This does not make bodies decompose faster or reduce the risk of disease.

 5. Local officials and journalists say there is a risk of disease from dead bodies. Are they correct?  

No. Many professionals and journalists misunderstand the risk from dead bodies after a disaster. Even health workers are often misinformed, and contribute to the spread of rumours.

 Information for workers  

 1. Is there a risk for people handling dead bodies?  

People handling bodies (rescue workers, mortuary staff, etc.) do run a slight risk from tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, HIV and diarrhoeal diseases. However, these diseases do not last more than two days in a dead body (except for HIV, which may survive up to six days). Workers can reduce the risks by wearing rubber boots and gloves and practicing basic hygiene (e.g. washing their hands).

 2. Should workers wear a mask?  

The smell from decaying bodies is unpleasant, but it is not a health risk in well-ventilated spaces. There is no need to wear a mask on health grounds. However, workers may feel better psychologically if they wear masks. One should not encourage the public to do so.

 Information for authorities  

 1. How urgent is the collection of dead bodies?  

Collecting bodies is not the most urgent task after a disaster. The priority is to care for the living. Dead bodies cause no significant public health risk. Nevertheless, one should collect bodies as soon as possible and take them away for identification.

 2. Should one use mass graves to quickly dispose of the bodies?  

NO. There is no public health justification for rapid mass burials. Rushing to dispose of bodies without proper identification does more harm than good. Burying several individuals together can traumatize families and communities and may have serious legal consequences, in that it may be impossible to recover and identify individual sets of remains later.

 3. What should the authorities do with bodies?  

Collect bodies and either store them in refrigerated containers/dry ice, or bury them temporarily, to allow forensic investigation later.

Take photographs and record descriptive information for each body.

Attempt to identify each body.

 4. What psychological problems can arise?  

People feel an overwhelming need to identify their dead relatives. For individuals and communities to recover and heal, it is important that they be able to bury their loved ones in accordance with their traditions, and that they can grieve.

 5. How should one manage the bodies of foreigners?  

Families of visitors are more likely to insist on the identification and repatriation of the bodies. Proper identification is important for both economic and diplomatic reasons. It is important to keep bodies for identification. Inform foreign consulates and embassies and contact INTERPOL for assistance.

Tomfrench:
you can't blame the health workers, they are human beings just like you!!!

That's a very silly statement,if I must say so myself,we live in a sane society were certain government agencies are established to carry out specific duties in the public interest,saying we shouldn't blame people who receives salary for dereliction of duty is downright NONSENSICAL..

How can you say that a decaying body poses no health hazard to the living,I mean seriously do you know the amount of disease causing micro organisms that a dead body is riddled with and the attendant health implications if it finds its way to a living body,through water,food or whatever avenue,please stop misinforming the public with half baked opinions..

Read my post above and stop believing old wives tale that has no scientific basis

Unfortunately,all your post showed is you taking the information contained in the article out of context,the article clearly indicated health risks if bodies contaminate water sources and a need for proper and efficient disposal of a dead body as soon as possible,so I still state your statement is misleading..

That's someone's opinion

Common sense says stay away from dead bodies...

Leave it to the medics...

Where in the story was the corpse contaminating the water source?

Irrational fear of cadaver?

Pangea:

And how do you know there's no water sources around somewhere that can be potentially contaminated by exudates from the source,you know wild animals are capable of transferring such from the body to this drinking sources and on another note,decaying dead bodies have been used by primitive cultures as a source of poison for their arrowheads for hunting and warfare since time immemorial and as such are not as harmless and disease free as the article is trying to make them..

I know what I am talking about, I was once like you before with irrational fear of dead bodies but in the course of my study the myths were dymistified.
I will encourage you to look online for the works of Dr. William Bass on the BODY FARM.

Oh dis man finally died....i do see him every Saturday when am home or to relax under d bridge in d garden. RIP

Not everyone is courageous enough to touch a dead rat let alone go near a dead body. As masculine as I am, I am nauseated at the sight of blood.
