Jennifer Pennell, Funeral Director

Answered Apr 30, 2016

Living people have a pink color to their skin because of the blood that is circulating through their bodies. When a person dies, gravity pulls that blood to the lowest point, draining it away from the surface of their skin. Funeral directors use a variety of tactics to mimic the appearance of life. While embalming, blood is forced out of the body and replaced with embalm fluid. That fluid is tinted with pink dye to help add color back to the skin as the fluid is dispersed. Cosmetics also contain pink tints for the same purpose. The pink lights in the chapels help to enhance these efforts.

Originally Answered: What is the deadliest disease ever?

The deadliest disease ever has been around for at least 20 million years.

It may have killed Alexander the Great, King Tut and at least six popes. Some sources claim that almost half of all humans that ever lived have been killed by it.

What is the name of this murderous menace? Malaria.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects both humans and other animals. Some mosquitos carry a parasitic protozoan of the genus Plasmodium. This is the killer.

Mosquitos are the vector, the carrier. If we look at mosquitos as a bomber, then Plasmodium is the bomb.

** The deadly culprit

There are five species of the parasite that cause the disease. Of these, Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly. According to the 2018 world malaria report, there were 219 million cases of malaria in 2017. From this number 435,000 infected people died.

Approximately 70% of malaria deaths occurred in children age 5 or younger.

** The good news is that the number of deaths has decreased in recent years.
