Interesting. That'd be really slow and painful death I guess. Perfect for Joker killing Batman.

^ yes the thing is maggots only eat 'dead' meat, at least they are supposed to :scratch

So it might be gross for cleaning wounds, but it seems to work.

Quote from: Article
"Usually a problem for older people who have trouble looking after themselves, the flies lay their eggs in fresh or weeping wounds and sometimes even in the mouth, nose and ears. The hatched larvae then feed from the rotting flesh, quickly spreading through the body."

Sleep tight,  don't let the bed bugs bite. XD

Poor guy :shock:

That is definitely one of the worst ways to die, besides being one of the most (if not the most) disgusting. It's one of my fears as well, I don't want to die in a "disgusting" manner

The grisly affliction is known as human myiasis, a rare disease
Ah, just a gues but sounds like the 'flesh' of the people with this disease might 'taste' like dead meat then to the maggots.

Not precisely... maggots that are used for therapeutic debridement of wounds (that is, removing dead infected flesh to promote healing) is of a specific species of fly that only eats dead tissue.  This poor guy was eaten by god knows what species of maggot - they ate not only dead tissue but also living tissue.  

Remind me to always promptly band-aid my cuts when I'm in Hong Kong....

Maggots are actually used in medical procedures now to treat wounds ^^

However, externally, not internally :x
