The nature of the substances released from the skin following burning is not known. The majority of the studies concerned with this problem have involved analyses of blood or the lymph draining the burned part, and have been complicated by the complex composition of the blood and lymph and the complex interrelation between different tissues. The present studies represent an attempt to simplify the problem by employing excised skin and collecting the materials diffusing into a saline solution following exposure to hot water.
