In these experiments, the results were not quite as dramatic.
Like, there wasn't the same kind of 24-hour turnaround time for healing.
And especially in the pig experiments, they were only able to check the wounds every few days because the wounds had to be dressed.
But once again, the researchers did find evidence that the menstrual fluid helped with healing.
This was ideal.
Like, a bunch of experiments, lots of promising results.
There's just one small problem.
Okay, in the interest of fact-checking, there was a TikTok trend for a while where people were using period blood as a face mask.
And to be clear, like, this effector makes sense, right?
Like, putting bodily fluids directly on your open wounds, probably not the best idea.
Which is why, as she was running these experiments on skin and pigs, Gemma was also working on another investigation.
An investigation into how exactly menstrual fluid was working its healing magic.
So Gemma Evans had seen that if you put menstrual fluid on wounds, they heal faster.
And she also knew that putting menstrual fluid directly on wounds was probably not a real option.
To figure this out, Gemma turned to a lab that does something called proteomics, where they basically analyze substances and tell you what kind of proteins are in them.
And Gemma wanted this lab to tell her just a little more about the basic ingredients of menstrual fluid.
So she gave them a bunch of normal blood as kind of like a baseline to compare to, and then she gave them some of the menstrual fluid samples that she'd collected.
Menstrual fluid, as it turns out, has way more going on than normal blood running through our veins and arteries.
It has lots of proteins that are not found in that normal blood.
So Gemma picked a couple of proteins that seemed especially promising.
