The research analyzed 128 online listings, finding that most items were isolated anatomical fragments rather than whole bodies. The study warns of the dangers posed by chemicals used in embalming and the potential for microbial contamination. It calls for stricter regulations to address this informal market that threatens public health and cultural heritage.
