Maggot Therapy

[Earl]

Maggot Debridement Therapy is the medical use of fly larvae to clean non-healing infected wounds. Live maggots are placed into a stinky necrotising wound to clean up the decaying flesh.

If necrotising wounds are left to fester the dead flesh firstly acts as a barrier against medical treatment, and can also become a breeding ground for more nasty bacteria such as gangrene which leads to amputation. The human eye is limited in being able to distinguish between necrotic tissue and healthy tissue, but a maggot knows just which the good stuff is for lunch! The maggots used are firstly disinfected and sterile, bred specially for this purpose. They target only the necrotic tissue leaving the healthy flesh behind. On top of this the ugly little bleeders secrete anti-bacterial saliva which is successful in clearing up antibiotic resistant strains of infection.

The combination of the dead tissue removal and antibiotic properties not only clean the wound but also help the wound to heal by stimulating the growth of new flesh.

The only known drawbacks to maggot therapy are the short shelf life of the twats, who remembers their fishing bait turning to casters?

And the peculiar, uncomfortable tickling of them squirming around under your skin.

It's amazing but pukey.

I wonder if you can feel them tickling as they nibble.

[Shibumi]

They should put a few in that fat bitches stomach....damn.

[Ck]

Yes! They need to invent fat eating maggots. They'd make a mint!

[Shibumi]

That is a good idea. Let's get the patent on that. How hard could it be too genetically alter some fly larvae. Im on it.

[Earl]

You'd need a fucking lot of maggots, or some really big ones!

[Ck]

I'd prefer lots of little ones nibbling than big ones munching.

i know about this! patients with severe case of diabetes, where wounds do not heal as a result of diabetes if not treated early would lead to amputation, but with maggots they are able to cure the wounds and eventually heals..but yes its ticklish thats what i heard though...but if it can cure you why not ...its just a little form of sacrifice..

[QuietLunatic]

Nothing like ancient therapies being proven effective. And they don't harm healthy tissue--so if you can get past the "ewwwwwww' factor, you're good to go.

this actually makes sense because the maggots only eat decaying flesh or dead skin cells. I wonder if in the future they can develop maggots to eat dead skin cells in your face.
