Re: A Serious Foot Infection With Maggots Present
At what time does one make the decision to get out the maggots  . No really,did it really need to get to that point(I am aware of diabetes which causes the outer extremities to heal poorly or in most cases not at all)In this situation having dogshit,rotton garbage or rotting corpses is in-valuable to this person,just let stuff fester and BAM! no need for a persription for drug-store maggots. |

Re: A Serious Foot Infection With Maggots Present
those maggots are doing a good job of cleaning up the wound. It makes treating and dressing them a lot easier!! Wounds are kinda my jam. The other nurses always come to get me to help them out. So wish I could take pics and share, cause I've seen some awful ones. But HIPPA and all that.....

Re: A Serious Foot Infection With Maggots Present
I think the maggots are being used to debride the wound, and make it cleaner so it will heal more quickly. They often work well for diabetic wounds.
