They used them to treat some burns in WW2. The patients said it was terrible. The maggots did not hurt but they could feel them moving inside the wound and it was enough to drive them almost insane.

Maggots and Blood Letting should get you right.

They consume dead flesh and are used as a last resort when other options have failed. If you have necrotic, dead flesh, you need to go to a fricking hospital.

Man, if only some Scottish scientist had played with mold a hundred years ago and discovered something that helped treat infections.
Oh well. Carry on with the baby flies.

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all have knocked her up.
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe.
I was not offended.
For I knew I had to rise above it all, or drown in my own shite.

Many larger hospitals have sterile ones on hand.
There is your “actually” response for the day.

If I were avoiding going to a doctor, I think I'd research medical grade honey before maggots.
This is not medical advice.

Apparently, there are also studies showing their use as a treatment of melanoma and breast cancer.
