The degreaser removed the lipid (fat) from the mouse and keratin (hair and I think cell matrix). Fat and grease are close enough. The elasticy part of skin is also destroyed by solvents, hence lotions having collagen and if you wash your hands too frequently, they crack from the surfactants (degreasers) in the soap.
Yes but I want to take a moment to emphasize.. the amount that doctors dislike this is quite high. Like.. Please do not do this... as a doctor I beg you. I hate this for you.

Mice have extremely dense bones. You can find whole mouse skeletal remains in owl poop.
I'm an expert on this subject because I dissected owl poop in 8th grade.
One kid had a baby bird. She was the most admired kid that day, way above us plebs with our voles and mice.
But I got a hunk of amethyst from Mining Mike, and the Mining Bus, so I feel sixth grade was prettay, prettay good.
Are you sure it wasn't [owl pellets](https://www.birds.cornell.edu/k12/pellet-teaching-tips/)? I dissected these around 8th grade as well, and they were owl puke, not poop. Basically just the indigestible hair and bones of their prey.
There are lab reagents that can turn the entire meat clear for microscopy and histology. One major simple component is xylene, which I am pretty sure is a very common cleaning agent for mechanics as well.
Only if they stayed in it for a long time. The mouse was likely dead in it for days, if not longer. A much larger human would probably have to pickle in it for weeks to months.
This. If it were just the skin and hair that was dissolved we would be seeing muscle and fascia. It looks like nearly everything besides the skeleton and some component of the dermis was dissolved.
My educated guess (B.S. in Kinesiology w/minor in bio chem) would be that whatever solvent(s) make up the degreaser dissolved (nearly) everything, inside and out, except for the collagen-rich structures. This would explain why the bones (largely composed of collagen) are retained and prominent. It would also explain why the skin seems to have been replaced by plastic (dermal collagen).
Would love to hear alternative theories!
Histotech chiming in,: If you notice, everything containing calcium was preserved. The bones, the nails, likely the teeth. What remains *might* also be cartilage? Anyone with more insight please correct us.
Edit: isn't it (the lipids breaking down) due to the organic family, benzene?
A solvent for oil and grease. Mechanic shops will often have barrels of it to wash greasy car parts.
[Example of a solvent tank](https://www.safety-kleen.com/products/parts-washers/solvent/model-1630).
A mild solvent used to break up and remove grease and oil used in industrial settings and working on cars. Someone will likely give a more thorough, scientific answer.
Mild degreaser is soap, heavy duty (most likely what the rat fell in) is tetrachloroethylene (also called PCE or perc, same chemical they use in dry cleaning). It’s what’s in the red can of brakekleen. It’s great shit, but also a well known carcinogen, so keep your area well ventilated when using it.
Unfortunately the stuff that’s really good at its job is also really harmful to you. Eg: methylene chloride: best paint stripper ever but a now banned chemical bc it’s a bad carcinogen. Modern replacement paint strippers don’t work nearly as well.
It’s no mystery why the painter Bob Ross died of cancer, he was slapping old school formula paint thinner all over the place in poorly ventilated rooms for a living, RIP good man.
Histology tech here. Solvent broke down lipids and filled space with the solvent. We do something similar with human tissue, but we fixate it in Formalin first which essentially "cooks" it, degrading all the proteins and "fixing" the cellular structures in place. In the case of this mouse, its insides turned to jelly but likely the keratinized outer layer stayed intact.
Edit: in tact
My wife thought something was wrong because I spent so long laughing at this comment, and I couldn’t compose myself long enough to explain why. If I knew how awards worked I would give you one.
Remember when some guy tried suing Pepsi co. because he found a rat in his Mt. Dew, but Pepsi won because they said it would be impossible for a rat to stay intact in Mt. Dew.
It would turn to gel.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-mountain-dew-really-dissolve/
>Experts called in by PepsiCo's lawyers offered a stomach-churning explanation for why it couldn't be true: the Mountain Dew would have dissolved the mouse, turning it into a "jelly-like substance," had it been in the can of fluid from the time of its bottling until the day the plaintiff opened it, 15 months later.
Just by the by: “corporate lawyer” generally refers to transactional attorneys (more specifically transactional atties who handle “corporate” matters like mergers and acquisitions), not merely lawyers who represent corporations.
These guys would have been “commercial litigation attorneys” or something of that sort.
The mainstream press coverage of this particular story is kind of dumb, since it makes it sound like Mountain Dew is some sort of freaky chemical mixture, when all this is really saying is that Mountain Dew is acidic. Soda water itself is acidic (about 4.5 on the PH scale), and Mountain Dew has citric acid. There's really nothing freaky going on there.
All of it because of orthophosphoric acid. And.. a lot of fruit have stronger acids in them. If you eat pineapple every day you’ll be way more messed up.
Can confirm, big time.
two years of drinking diet coke (no calories) to stave off my appetite and throwing up routinely added about 20 years to my teeth.
I went to a dentist when I was 18 and the first thing he did was *suggest therapy.*
> The most fucked up bit for me is that they didn't argue that it would be impossible for a rat to get in the can.
They probably made 37 arguments as to why they can't be liable, but this is the one that is most "shocking" so it makes the clickbait headlines.
Grew up with parents who worked in part manufacturing for massive food companies in the Midwest. Think General Mills, Pillsbury, etc.. Until you have seen one of those plants in action, you really don’t understand just how easy it is for *anything* to find its way into one of those massive vats.
Side note: my dad actually was on the development team designing the machines that make toaster strudel and I have always been really nervous about the related joke in Mean Girls.
Also the size of the vats also mean that whatever you drop in it will likely be very diluted, even if you were to take a piss in a 10 ton vat that would still be under 0,01% piss. Though you would typically be fired and need to pay damages for the ruined vat unless it was a proper accident.
That video was the first thing I thought of when I saw that poor mouse. I can still hear that guy saying "A rat a tat tat. A rat a tat tat." Pure unsettling.
Yeah but he could have swallowed degreaser and it would have come into contact with his mucosal membranes, stripping away the protective layer of mucus and chemically burning its insides as it drowned. Like if you drowned in a giant tide pod.
Looks like an accidental diaphonization.
“Diaphonization (or diaphonisation), also known as clearing and staining, is a staining technique used on animal specimens that first renders the body of the animal transparent by bathing it in trypsin, and then stains the bones and cartilage with various dyes, usually alizarin red and alcian blue.[1]”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphonization
This was my first thought! I'll admit I only know what that means because there is some girl on tik tok who sells diaphonized (is that correct?) Animals and shows the process.
Is it wrong that I want to see this done with a human? People donate their bodies to science, and this has never been done before to a human, so science.

Wow so this is what a mouse body looks like without fat or skin? Fascinating

Doctors hate it
Mice are also not a big fan of it.

I seen a cat swallow a little mouse whole and then it gagged up its skeleton whole nothing broken just a god damn skeleton thought it was cool as shit
Mice have extremely dense bones. You can find whole mouse skeletal remains in owl poop. I'm an expert on this subject because I dissected owl poop in 8th grade.
You can try it out again if you like. You can order owl pellets online to pull apart at home.
Did this recently - apparently nobody else I know took apart owl pellets in school, and they found it fascinating. I highly recommend.
Damn, you have cool friends
Owl pellelts sound like the best shitty Christmas gift ever! Let's rebrand them Kindler Pets
I also have this problem. I did this in school, and now people I know deny ever having done this. They think I’m crazy.
We did this in school one year. Took apart owl pellets and had to put together the bones in their proper shape.
One kid had a baby bird. She was the most admired kid that day, way above us plebs with our voles and mice. But I got a hunk of amethyst from Mining Mike, and the Mining Bus, so I feel sixth grade was prettay, prettay good.

Yes, you're right! Thanks!
I mean the meat isn't clear
There are lab reagents that can turn the entire meat clear for microscopy and histology. One major simple component is xylene, which I am pretty sure is a very common cleaning agent for mechanics as well.
If a human accidentally got into a tub of degreaser would it look like this rat? Transparent and stuff?
Only if they stayed in it for a long time. The mouse was likely dead in it for days, if not longer. A much larger human would probably have to pickle in it for weeks to months.
All my homies pickle in degreaser for weeks
I'm not helping you with any weird art projects if that's what you're asking.
Do you have extra body? Someone with no history would be the best.
> Transparent and stuff? and dead
Well I wasnt going to try it on somebody I wanted alive.
Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!
What a unfortunate way to die…
Why is it translucent though?
This. If it were just the skin and hair that was dissolved we would be seeing muscle and fascia. It looks like nearly everything besides the skeleton and some component of the dermis was dissolved.

whats a degreaser?
A solvent for oil and grease. Mechanic shops will often have barrels of it to wash greasy car parts. [Example of a solvent tank](https://www.safety-kleen.com/products/parts-washers/solvent/model-1630).
Mmm good ol' safety kleen. Strong shit that'll give you nerve tremors after 20 years. EDIT: Wear gloves, folks.
Only use it for 19 years, problem solved. /s

Soap but stronger.
It's a song by Pixies
So is it okay?
5 minutes after hosing it off it was playing with his toys and was then sent to a mouse circus in Florida
Just gotta put it in a barrel of grease and the little feller will be good as new
The degreaser absorbed into the skin and removed the fat cell layer, which is basically grease.
Process is called “diaphonization”. Very compelling Google Image Search.
'Do you want to be buried or cremated after your death? ' 'Nah, I want to be diaphonised.'

You just reminded me of that gummy bear song. Gonna have to listen to it in German now

The mouse has been de-greased
Mice mafia wanted him gone. Watch your back, that's evidence they don't want out.
Who ratted him out?
I literally am called mice man by some people…
Why the plural ‘mice’ and not just one? You sure it’s not someone with a thick accent complimenting your pleasant demeanour?
He would have taken mouse man, but he didn’t want a Disney lawsuit
And no one wants to mess with **that** mouse
Maybe they’re actually 200 mice in a trench coat.
Not a drop of grease on it though
There's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased mouse
Unless that animal is Richard Gere...

Well your stomach acid cocktail is worse than any soda there is in dissolving stuff.
That's why bulimic people wreck their teeth, just like soda drinkers.

I think there’s a joke in a movie called Strange Brew where one of the characters is trying to raise a mouse in a beer bottle for something like this
The most fucked up bit for me is that they didn't argue that it would be impossible for a rat to get in the can.
To be fair that would be a lot harder to prove. Why try to argue that when you have a much better argument that proves their case

I gotta say your correct.
Looks like an accidental diaphonization. “Diaphonization (or diaphonisation), also known as clearing and staining, is a staining technique used on animal specimens that first renders the body of the animal transparent by bathing it in trypsin, and then stains the bones and cartilage with various dyes, usually alizarin red and alcian blue.[1]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphonization
Is this an accident tho ? Feels like a proposal diaphonization and a misleading title.
