Hibernating bears' wounds heal without scars
http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/17404059

Quote:Black bears have a surprising capacity to heal as they hibernate, say researchers in the US.

Medical researchers and zoologists worked together to find that the bears' wounds healed with almost no scarring, and were infection-free.

Nice. I wonder if it's an ability specific to bears, or if human medical procedures would heal more quickly if a person's body were inactive, at rest througout. . .
What falls away is always, and is near.

-yet another reason to eliminate the bear threat in a massive preemptive strike. In light of this new intel on the enemy's tactical capabilities, I suggest we employ bunker busters at or near the beginning of spring.

Very nice of the bear to be so cooperative.

Yeah I want to see the guy who crawled into a den of hibernating bears to get that information. Talk about your bad jobs.
Why do they call it alcohol abuse? I've never heard alcohol complain.
