Embalming

Embalming is the preservation of a body, commonly known and reffered to by the ancient egyptians embalming mummies. Typically embalming fluid contains a mixture of formaldehyde, methanol and other solvents. Embalming fluid kills bacteria, and allows the regeneration of cells to keep its process (Only works for the skin). This may be a do it yourself project, but you will deffinately look weird, so I don't recommend doing it yourself. If you choose to, you will need recently dead tissue (preferably not a human) and the need fluids. The fluids must be injected into the veins/arteries of the tissue. You may wrap the tissue in "mummy wrappings" if you choose, but that will only be for looks. Have fun...?
