And that's kind of an understatement, isn't it, Dave?

Yeah.

Excellent question.

The way it causes rapid development of decomposition is if there are any open wounds.

It's like ringing the dinner bell, if you will, at a microbial level and also just from local fauna.

And what I'm talking about is flies.

Because if you have open areas, like if you...

You know, and as we've talked about, I think we did a whole segment on we did an entire episode on blunt force trauma.

If I haven't, we're going to.

We did.

So blunt force trauma creates laceration.

So you're being beaten.

That's more than likely the type of injury you're going to sustain that leads to an open wound.

And if that's the case, then all the little nasties get into that open wound.

The body is no longer intact, okay, externally.

And that can prompt early onset of decomposition, particularly in that specific area where the trauma took place, okay?

Now, I don't know necessarily how far out that would extend, but...

But it's going to increase probability.

Now, you have a body that's been placed in an aquatic environment.

And by the way, this this body of water that that.
