Dumbass comment. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Maggot therapy is used legally in the UK, United States, Japan, and Australia (to name but a few).
They breed sterile maggots and use them.
It's a clean, safe and effective.

In January 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted permission to produce and market maggots for use in humans or animals as a prescription-only medical device for the following indications: "For debriding non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or post-surgical wounds." In February 2004, the British National Health Service (NHS) permitted its doctors to prescribe maggot therapy. In Europe, Canada and Japan maggots are classified as medicinal drugs, needing a full market licence. In US maggots for medicinal use are classified as a device.

There have been a few vids like this posted here, but I've yet to see one where the treatment and/or before/after shots are included. Now that would be interesting to see!

True but left in there they start to eat healthy flesh as well.
Heard of fly strike in animals? Where flies lay their eggs around the animal's bum and when they hatch they basically eat the animal alive- not dying flesh but perfectly healthy flesh.

Just close the extra windows that open and you'll end up with the right one- I had porn windows open up as well.

I don't think that was maggot therapy- they were all different sizes and if you look closely different types of larvae. The man clearly wasn't well- I am guessing he had been living on the streets- drugs? Maybe an abcess or even tumour that burst.

Also in maggot therapy a thin layer of gauze is placed over the wound to keep the little bastards where they should be.

To reiterate cocopoop,

THIS IS NOT MAGGOT THERAPY ITS MYIASIS. Or "human fly strike"

Yes sir its called myiasis and its freaking nasty. There is a reason they remove maggots in maggot therapy after MAX 3-4 days, they will eat your flesh! Also "maggot" its a generalized term and not all species of fly larvae will eat only necrotic flesh in there early days of life. Its not the "bum" they target its the poo still in the hole, or open soars. However there are species that do not need this media for egg delivery and could make there own "entry wound"

Myiasis is common in livestock and 3rd world countries where people live like livestock!

Yes sir as a matter of fact in Modern medicine the unites states was a pioneer, though through history its been recorded time and time again.

On a positive note according to wikipedia, the limb salvage rate is as high as %50. (limbs that dont have to be amputated after all!)
