Red Hair Mummies and Oxidation

A look is made at a scholarly paper from the NCBI site that discusses red hair on humans and animals discovered after death. No generalizations regarding oxidation or changes due to post mortem environmental fungus can be immediately made as to the origin of the red hair and each situation must be examined individually to determine how the red hair came to be and whether the hair is natural or not.
