I was at the beach today thinking I’m basically just a slab of meat in the sun. How come I don’t rot? What prevents living things from decomposing and how does that change when we die?
In: Biology
Rotting is basically bacteria eating something and pooping. That’s why it’s so smelly. It’s easy for bacteria to eat dead things and poop, but things that are alive are hard for them to eat because they can fight back.
