Spontaneous human combustion is a term used to describe cases where a human body suddenly catches fire without any apparent external ignition source.
The existence of spontaneous human combustion as a distinct phenomenon is still debated among scientists. While there have been reported cases, many experts believe that these incidents can be explained by other factors such as external heat sources or alcohol consumption.
The exact cause of spontaneous human combustion is not known. Some theories suggest that it could be due to a build-up of gases in the body, while others propose that it could be linked to certain medical conditions or external factors such as smoking or alcohol consumption.
There is no clear indication or warning sign that someone may experience spontaneous human combustion. However, some factors that have been associated with reported cases include obesity, alcohol consumption, and smoking.
Since the exact cause of spontaneous human combustion is not known, it is difficult to prevent. However, some experts suggest that avoiding risk factors such as excessive alcohol consumption or smoking may reduce the likelihood of experiencing this phenomenon.
