**Damn I fucked this post up, it wouldn't post the first time I attempted cos I think the time it took me to write it, I got logged out while actively writing it, so when I went to post it, sojooo was confused how I was creating a post while logged out. So i had copied it in case there was any issues, which upon reopening the post I found it didn't save the entire thing, so I posted the entire post and intended on erasing anything that was duplicated or was of my previous rough draft. But once I pasted it in and began making corrections and attempted to get the two writings to flow together correctly, before I knew it i forgot to finish erasing the first part of my writing making it probably a confusing, repetitive mess, for anyone who attempts to read it. For that I'm sorry. But here's the entire post as it was meant to be**: During the battle of Shiloh in 1862, an event occurred that for two centuries remained unsolved and a mystery of the highest caliber, and to this day, whether it is officially solved or not is up to who you ask. But it is unanimously agreed upon by most, that the explanation that they've come up with is the best explanation and most likely the event that accurately and plausibly would need to occur to facilitate the following bit of high strangeness on the battle field. With high casualities for both the north and the south, and a estimated total of 16000 wounded, the battle of Shiloh highlights the problem with war, the fact that never is there a true winner, cos you didn't win without first accumulating massive looses along the way, leaving nobody but those who don't participate as the only true victors with nothing other than few material losses or financial hurdles which can be eventually regained with time. Anyways, as the soilders lay out on the battlefield and hunker down for the night, the soilders became aware of their comrades whose wounds appeared to glow in the dark. Their wounds in the daylight appeared with the usual gory, and bloody look which the soilders were probably numb, desensitized by seeing, the crimson red blood then runs from an opening in the flesh, but once moonlight crept in, suddenly they were seeing what must of looked like a field of men with bayonets and rifles and .. glow sticks? The wounds emitted a blueish, green glow and was even remarked that people who's wounds glowed appeared to also heal much faster, whether this was true can't be guaranteed but the nature in which they glowed was undisputed and was witnessed by so many men, all of different ranks and duties on the battlefield that the idea of it being some story or prank made up between a group of soilders and reiterated among them all, just wasn't possible, and the soilders certainty of what they saw was unmistakable. with makeshift first aid and bandages, tightly knottedfabric acting as if it is a turnoquete, and arms in slings among the wounded. Any serious wound that was too deep to successfully treat with little the field paramedics had to work with at the time, usually severe wounds, gun shots to the leg or arm would be amputated right then and there with the likelihood of the injury becoming gangrene as a serious possibility if left untreated. Due to the location of the battle being far from ideal, and the muddy and wet conditions, the men laid there for two days wounded, waiting for the medics to arrive to save them, and despite this, the men survived. And throughout the two nights the spent out there under moonlight, never did their glowing wounds persist, they remained glowing and going strong, unlike real glow sticks which several hours into the first night would of decreased in brightness, and eventhslly all together loose their glow, but nope, not these human glow sticks, they seemed to master that which party suppliers can't, a glow stick that doesn't become a gay piece or pieces of plastic to polute the earth with cos you thought you looked cool with a sleeve worth of glowing bracelets, or way too many glow stick necklaces like a damn freak of nature  YUp now you got a bunch of cheap seamen colored bracelets that don't glow but will make freakish hybrids out of the wildlife that will later develope genetic mutations from that landfill you'll dump your useless junk in. In 2001, the mystery was given an explanation that seems to be the most likely explanation to come to, this will be the discovery of two high school kids and their mother (a microbilogist) who lets me real, was the only one who did any discovering, just later she wrote the find off as a group effort, giving her son and his friend credit for something they likely still don't understand. But I'm sure it earned them a pretty good grade on their science fair this year, pretty much a sure fire A+ if they don't fumble this easy pass by screwing up the presentation, filling their poster board with messy hand written notes on lined paper, lazy, spoiled, enabled, savages. The explanation they came up with is Photorhabdus luminescens, which is (Google will takeover momentarily for the assist) a bioluminescent, Gram-negative bacterium that lives in a symbiotic relationship with entomopathogenic nematodes, acting as a potent insect pathogen by killing insect larvae and decomposing their bodies for nutrients. It is known for its complex life cycle, producing toxins and enzymes to kill insects, and antibiotics to eliminate competitors, making it a model for studying symbiosis and a potential source for biopesticides. It can also cause opportunistic infections in humans, particularly in wounds. Sounds like a pretty good candidate for the glowing civil war wounds, but I'm no scientist, so what do you guys think?
