A liberal's skull? From the article: Maggots are efficient consumers of dead tissue. I have a hard time thinking of deader tissue than a liberal's brain.
But sometimes the maggots do mature and escape.

NNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo thanks
but probably very popular as a food in Indochina. lol.
Here’s the problem: they make me scream and flail about in panic. I’d have to be very heavily sedated.
My US Army Survival Guide from way back when lists maggot therapy as a useful method to cleanse a wound of dead flesh.
Wonder if that could also lead to better treatments for autoimmune disorders?
Yes I think I’ll wait for the synthetic maggot secretion drug, myself.
***thud***

You would never see them unless you peeked. They’d be under a full dressing.
Where this therapy is particularly beneficial is a wound that is in a place where it is difficult to cut away diseased tissue.
I was going to post these photos but decided not to as they might upset some people. Nevertheless, they are worth a look - and ponder if maggots weren’t used, what would have been the alternative?

Ok, so I’m out somewhere and wounded.
Where would I find these helpful maggots?
Especially in winter?
“Enquiring minds want to know......”
Stay outside in unsanitary conditions with an unclean wound and the maggots will find you. Eggs in the dirt, maturation triggered by moisture and body heat? I don’t know.
Oh MAGGOTS! I thought they said faggots.
But... wouldn’t you feel them squirming around in there? (shudder-shudder-shudder)
Or perhaps flies landing on the wounds and laying eggs?

Not in winter.
We had that up until yesterday, high today was 48 though.
I remember reading the tale of some mountain man, after being mauled by a bear and abandoned by his comrades, treating his wounds with maggots or some other kind of larvae. He found an old rotting log and flipped it over, rolling in the grubs underneath it to keep his wounds from becoming infected. It apparently worked, because the guy survived and made it back to civilization to get his revenge.
Gwendolyn Cazander “It’s not surprising that maggot secretions would suppress the immune system. Otherwise, the larvae would probably be attacked by the body.
Hmmmm, sure. Gota wonder just how that could work. Living munchers being attacked by dead munchables. Buzzard spit Gwen.
Rab can but wonder. Thanks for the post neverdem.
