Myiasis in Scalp
Myiasis is a general term for pathological infection by parasitic fly larvae feeding on the host's living tissue. When the attack is directed against dead or necrotic tissue, the condition is not necessarily harmful and the effects may be of value as maggot therapy. Colloquialisms for myiasis include flystrike, blowfly strike, and fly-blown. In Greek, "myia" means fly. |

Re: Myiasis in Scalp
Look closely. He got his brains bashed in. He may have a concussion. So he wakes up days later and has maggots. He is lucky to be alive.
