This is Britt and you’re listening to Radical Wellness’s segment Fun Fact Friday. Did you know that using certain fish scales could help heal severe burns? In Brazil, doctors are testing this theory on patients who have suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns. They’ve been using the skin of tilapia, a widely farmed fish in the area. Scientists were shocked when they found collagen proteins, type 1 and 2 in the skin. It had more collagen protein than human skin. These collagen proteins are necessary for proper healing. Using tilapia skin as treatment has cut down treatment time and pain medication use.
