Hasn’t this already happened? This study seems to indicate that SFTS can be transmitted by bodily fluids, and the infected / corpses of the infected need to be handled with extreme caution.

The article states that it has already happened in China and Korea, but not previously in Japan.

We all do it.
Bad news for necrophiliacs.
