Burns have been a part of the human experience since our hominin relatives began controlling fire 1.5 million years ago. Until very recently, we&rsquo;ve been limited in our ability to manage burn wounds with any success, having instead to rely on our body&rsquo;s innate healing responses. In this episode, we delve into those repair responses, explore what makes burns different from other types of injuries, and examine how we categorize burns based on severity. On the history side of things, we take a tour through humanity&rsquo;s quest to alleviate the pain and suffering caused by the near-universal experience of getting burned. Ever wondered what Hippocrates would have recommended for a burn? Or what distinguishes a second- from third-degree burn? Tune in to find out.
