[Gingersnap]

Maggot infestations are a serious health problem. When maggots are used therapeutically, they come from one of three types and they are removed and replaced within a certain number of hours.

While maggots selectively eat necrotic flesh, they also make flesh rot by excreting enzymes to kill it.

Wild maggots feasting for days on a wound will always cause tissue destruction and infections.

There are quacks that write books on using maggots for cancer therapy along with leeches. There are people that apply said quackery. The results are nasty and predictable.
