Some of the things that can trigger SHC is:
When the victim has been heavily drinking
When the victims has been under heavy emotional stress
When the victim is own their own
Also:
Most of the victims are woman
A yellow, foul smelling oil is usually surrounding the body
The torso, including the chest, abdomen and hips tend to be totally consumed, sparing portions of the arms and legs and the head. The clothing can also be intact
The body is very badly burned, but the room the body was found in is pretty much intact except for a fine layer of soot
Most of the victims were overweight and/or alcoholics.

∙ 14y agoIt is easier than you might think. Keep acting as you normally would and you will never suffer from SHC. This is because it is a myth it is not physically possible for a human being to just catch fire. It is hard enough to set one of fire deliberately, think about the number of times you have a person put a match out with their fingers or seen a fire eater at the circus. If you go to a crematorium and ask how hot they have to make the furnace you'll be surprised. The ony reason people get burned is because they are in contact with something hot, they themselves will not burn but their clothes might. Think about it this way, your body is abour 80% water, how can that possibly spontaniously catch fire? If you're still worried about it, you could try living in a swimming pool.
ok like they said above, keep acting normal, it happens very rarely. But it is possible to shc. Its not you catching on fire, its the atoms in your body moving so rapidly that you catch on fire and die. sure your body is mosly water, but still even if only 20 percent of you catches on fire, youll still die.

∙ 12y agoNo-one really knows. apparently the claimed victims were obese, drunk and/or smoked constantly. wich mans it might be real... I am guessing it is, as a scientist discovered its possible for a human body to burn like a candle, called the candle, or wick effect. any way, its so rarely claimed, its probably nothing to worry about. even if you are obese and a drunk smoker. if so, you have other things to worry about.
