A bioluminescent-bacteria theory for Civil War ‘Angel’s Glow’
A post recounts glowing wounds at the Battle of Shiloh and says doctors thought those soldiers seemed to fare better.
TLDR
A post says soldiers who lay in rainy mud at the Battle of Shiloh developed glowing wounds and appeared to fare better than soldiers whose wounds did not glow. It credits students Bill Martin and Jonathan Curtis with a 2001 explanation: cold conditions may have allowed bioluminescent bacteria to grow and kill harmful bacteria.
