ok so when you get like a scrape what exactly happens?

I got a minor scrape on my hand the other day.

it leaked a very small amount of blood(like it didn't even drip), then stopped bleeding and you could barely even see it.

then some time later this clear liquid flowed up through my skin and formed a scab.

i should collect the clear liquid and try culturing it to make some liquid scab stuff.

do you think it would work?

I know they do skin grafting and such for burn patients

Ever heard of mitosis? Its when cells reproduce and create daughter cells.

Mitosis takes place and the fluid you saw is basically blood platelets and immunoglobulin to kill bacteria. Usually that is why scabs are brown, because your antibodies literally are combined with blood platelets to form this golden color serum, that dries out brown.

Immunoglobulin is basically a protein that has antibodies. Antibodies are essentially proteins, this is what prevents infection.

Here is a picture:

i dont think you could do that. skin grafing is basicaly replacing the old skin with new skin usally from the legs.

and being burned bad enough to need skin grafing hurts like a mother f***er. if you want to know how bad and how i know

pm me and i can show u what i went though
