DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) If you’re injured at the moment you might want to learn to hide or control your angry side. I read about this over at Multidays: it’s the first controlled experiment to measure how long angry people take to recover from an injury compared to the not-so-angry.

Researchers at the University of Ohio inflicted minor burns on the forearms of 98 volunteers who were then monitored over eight days to see how quickly the skin repaired itself.

Wouldn’t you be angry?!!! :-)

On average the angries took 4 days longer to heal. Funny thing was the study seems to suggest that those who held their anger in, healed the same as the non-angries. It’s just the ones who showed anger that took longer to heal. Odd isn’t it?
