**Imbibitionem putride cadaverinae** (Latin: Imbibitionem putride cadaverinae) is one of the most dangerous forms of imbibition, in which bacterial toxins or other toxic substances are absorbed into the blood and spread throughout the body. This form of imbibitional necrosis occurs most often in people who die from gangrene, advanced inflammatory processes, or surgical complications. Rot penetrates into the body through wounds, bruises, ruptured organs or through the bloodstream.
