Little advice for anyone thinking of trying this at home. Not all species stick to dead flesh, some will attack living tissue.

if nothing else works best or at all... then sure... I would rather keep my limbs, or whatever it is...

You don't even see the maggots cleaning the wound, they are in some "cloth pouch".

Uggg not for me, but if it was a last resort to keep me alive then maybe.

No, an infected wound is disgusting. Maggots are just trying to live their best life.

Yes, if it was recommended by a wound specialist. I would try it. It's a little gross, but having a horrible infection is a lot grosser.

Eww no just put antibiotics on your wound

Would you ever try maggot therapy for a serious infected wound?

  It's in a porous, gauze-like material, put directly on the wound area.
