The maggots recycling human food waste

Maggots' Lunch

In maggot debridement therapy, live #maggots are used on wounds to promote healing and fight infection. They consume dead tissue and bacteria, while leaving healthy tissue behind - commonly used on wounds that are difficult to treat with other methods including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and gangrene. Next time you hear the word "maggots," don't turn your nose up – they could be the key to #fasterwoundhealing - and continue to prevent limb amputations #woundtherapy | Cory Calendine,
