Maggot Therapy
The overwhelmingly revolting thing about myiasis is that the infestation is unknown until you move some tissue around only to see hundreds of maggots eating a patient's flesh. Maggot therapy is a little different, but works by the same principle: maggots feed on dead skin. So, if a patient has a chronic wound that is not healing there is bound to be dead skin in the wound. Dead skin quickly leads to infection if not cut out, or "debrided". These patients are in need of constant debridement in order to keep their wounds from becoming infected. Behold, the grand entrance of the medical maggot! When used medically, maggots are always sterile and home grown

Re: Maggot Therapy
Those little wigglers monching on dead flesh actually release an enzyme that kills MRSA.   |

Re: Maggot Therapy
I worked as an auxiliary nurse on a surgical ward around 15 years ago,& maggot therapy was occasionally used there.

Re: Maggot Therapy
Reminds me of a fun part of the book Stiff by Mary Roach. She talks about how maggots eating flesh sound like Rice Krispies because they snap, crackle and pop.
