Though rare, it is possible for some diseases\u2014like hepatitis B or C, tuberculosis, and other infections\u2014to remain active in the body shortly after death. Bodily fluids and tissues may still carry these risks, especially if the cause of death involved a contagious illness. During such situations, physical contact like kissing or touching the deceased may pose a small but real threat to others.<\/p>\n
