Maggot therapy isn't the issue for me.... It's how deep they are in the foot...

[–]snowlion13 0 points1 point ago

i wonder what point it is where they say they have to cut off that part of the foot. i mean how is this going to even regenerate? obviously theres little blood flow and he patient isnt going to care for it like it needs to or it wouldnt have gotten this bad

[–]FiMack 0 points1 point ago

I hear you! My plan would be to never get to the point where maggots eating necrotic tissue sounded like a plan. Imagine if they'd pulled that bandage back and flies flew out. Worse, imagine if they turned into flies in there and you could feel them buzzing about.

I regret staring longer to figure out what I was seeing.

[–]letsbecats 4 points5 points ago

Same. Thought it was an apple. :'(

[–]gingersforjustice 6 points7 points ago

Ok, fuck this, good night reddit.

[–]aahdin 6 points7 points ago

Every time something like this gets posted this is said... but I feel like it needs repeating.

The maggots are probably saving this guy's life. They don't eat living flesh, meaning they're just digging away at the rotting stuff and cleaning out the wound.
