Oh, I don't know - I've been there. Usually a good hosing down will
take care of most of the body contents. It's the smell from the
inevitable bowel evacuation that really gets you. And of course if the
body has been decomposing, the smell is intolerable. This was what
made the trenches in WWI so foul for men to live in, although the
whole region swarmed with fat, sleek rats.
