Is it true ur bodys bacteria eats ur flesh in the grave not insects??
Yes, that and maggots.
Reply:Bacteria are already trying to eat you. Being alive, you regenerate and your immune system help to destroy the bacteria.





When you die, that all stops and the Bacteria have at it.





But just as with the insects, the right environment must exist.





Your internal organs will most likely always be moist, and much warmer then your exterior. So those will be eaten first, the bacteria will release gas while eating, causing bloating with possible explosive results.
Reply:Yes, it would do that if you were alive and never washed for a long time too
Reply:yes, technically, it will break down your body as you lay there.

Reply:Don't really care, but I expect it's a bit of both. Yum...
Reply:Yes, bacteria does most of the work. Remember, you have about 2 kg bacteria in your intestines helping you digest your food. When you die these bacteria don't die with you - they flourish and break through the mucus that kept them at bay, "eating" everything in its sight. Maggots come along later and finish off the job, with some help from a certain selection of beetles and other animals. It's quite an interesting process.
Reply:Yes it is very true. Bacteria will migrate from the digestive tract to different parts of the body and decompose the flesh. Migration of bacteria is due to lack of defense mechanism in intestinal wall after death. The phagocytic cells will die with you. And if you die and not buried you will also decompose on the same.
Reply:It all depends on your culture or religion. In Western predominately Christian culture your body is embalmed and place in a casket. That's what an undertaker does. So, there is little chance for biological activity post mortum.





Other places and cultures do not embalm. You maybe buried in the ground shortly after your die. In that case bacteria will have begun attacking your body shortly after death and continue until you have rotted beyond use. If the body is exposed to the elements in the ground, many other animals and microbes will feed upon it as well, round worms, flat worms, insects and even a few mammals.
