apparently maggots are pretty effective and efficient in debriding nonhealing foot and leg ulcers...

For 70 years, maggot therapy has been recognized as an aid in debridement and wound healing. Medicinal maggots secrete digestive enzymes that selectively dissolve necrotic tissue, disinfect the wound, and stimulate wound healing. During the 1930s, maggot debridement therapy (MDT) was routinely used in hundreds of hospitals around the world for treating bone and soft-tissue infections. With the introduction of antibiotics and other improvements in wound care, by the 1960s maggot therapy was used only as salvage therapy for the most serious wounds.

Yea maggots only eat dead tissue. It is ideal for someone who was stupid enough to get a diabetic ulcer.

Maggot therapy for ulcers! Not for the squeamish but effective as the maggots eat the necrotic tissue and encourages new tissue he generation!

How the hell does someone let it get that bad? Even in a third world country they know to keep a wound clean.
