Since lacrimal and harderian glands are well known for their immunological role protecting the eyes and associated ducts by antibody secretion this type of "tear"-production may well be related to the protection of these organs against bacteria and other microbes while feeding on decaying cadavers. In that way a pharmacological study about the antibacterial potential of that "tears" would be recommended. It may well be to find something which could be therapeutic value. Dr. Hans-J.
