Maggots in my wound, and it feels good!
Rediff On The Net Saturday, February 21, 2004
Researchers at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, south Wales, have showed that sterile
maggots can heal wounds faster than conventional medicine.
Soon, patients suffering from infected wounds would be treated with maggots in the UK in a
new scheme.
A BBC Online report said the squirming larvae were first found to have curative properties during
World War I.
Dr William Baer noticed that maggots were getting into the wounds of people injured on the
battlefield and instead of making the wound worse, they helped clear it up.
Dr Baer starting using maggot therapy at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and with excellent
results, the report said.
General practitioners around Britain will now be able to offer patients a prescription of maggots to
help heal wounds and avoid lengthy stays in hospital.
The BBC Online report said maggots clean wounds by eating dead tissue. They first spit out enzymes
that liquefy the tissue and then suck it up like soup.
