Doctors in Brazil Are Healing Burn Victims Using Tilapia Skin

[Manihot]

I saw a short documentary about this on YouTube some years ago. They showed how the doctors cleaned and sterilized the tilapia skins with chemicals and gamma radiation. When they placed it on the patient’s burns, it actually looked like a second skin. The patient said it relieved pain immediately. I think it’s genius, especially for developing countries that can’t afford expensive burn dressings.
