Maggot therapy is a medical treatment that uses live larvae, typically from the green bottle fly, to help heal wounds. The larvae are placed in a wound, where they consume dead tissue and bacteria, promoting a cleaner environment for healing. This method is particularly useful for chronic wounds that do not respond to traditional treatments. The therapy is safe and has been used for centuries, gaining renewed interest in modern medicine. It is often employed in cases of diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, and other difficult-to-treat wounds. Maggot therapy can reduce the need for surgery and improve healing times.
