With nearly 300,000 followers, he urged viewers: <em>\u201cNever kiss the deceased!\u201d<\/em> His caution stems from the fact that about nine hours after death, the body begins to decompose and releases harmful bacteria, which can pose serious health risks, including loss of smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video quickly sparked strong reactions online. Many admitted they had never thought about the dangers of bacterial exposure in such moments, while others shared heartfelt experiences. One viewer wrote: <em>\u201cI kissed my father and would do it a million times over! I can lose taste and smell, he is my father!\u201d<\/em> This shows how grief and love often outweigh concerns about health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ivanovik\u2019s message highlights the clash between cultural traditions and medical warnings. For many, kissing a loved one goodbye is a deeply personal ritual of closure and respect. Yet, his video raises the question of how to balance these traditions with awareness of potential risks, without disrespecting cultural or emotional practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, his viral post has opened a wider conversation about grief, health, and tradition. While Ivanovik emphasizes safety, many people value the comfort of final goodbyes more than the risks involved. His warning serves as both a reminder to be cautious and a call for sensitivity when addressing the deeply personal ways people choose to say farewell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Moldovan doctor, Viktor Ivanovik, has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a surprising warning about kissing deceased loved ones during farewells.
