That's too much pasta for use of reference.

One word maceration!!! ..I disagree with these studies!!! ..yes moist wounds do heal faster.who cares about speed though. I’m firm on the fact that dry wound healing is actually better.i have found that wound dehiscence is far more common in moist wounds due to macerated tissue..plus scabs keep bacteria out better than a dressing imo. Scabs also protect a wound..and if that’s not enough, bacteria multiplies at a faster rate in a moist environment.unless you are an extremely clean ultra hygienic person and live a sedimentary lifestyle like working at home ..i despite what popular belief says, ..strongly recommend DRY wound healing..don’t blindly follow the crowd..they are often wrong…don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.people now days want everything to be faster ! Faster! Faster! ..I’m hear to tell you for wounds faster is NOT better for wound healing.there is far more risks and complications associated with the “faster” wound healing..play it safe keep it old school.let your wound dry out! 😊

Obviously you know more about pasta than wounds! Moisture reduces collagen proliferation and innate body reactions of remodeling! Please stick to kitchen science and leave medicine to those of knowledge!
