I burned my thumb lighting sparklers (fireworks) a few nights ago. I've been pleased with how it's healing, and have been especially impressed because it's not a scenario that really could have come up in our evolutionary history. Then I started thinking that fires are not that common in nature. This prompts the question: do our bodies heal from burns using burn-specific techniques, or do they just follow general “procedures” for repairing damaged skin?
