Would you try maggot therapy on an open wound? (blood, clinic, kids)

[irootoo]

Absolutely. Everything in the natural world has a purpose, it's just humans who want to divide up everything into good and bad, and somethings that tendency is not helpful.

There is a new video game out called "Honey I Joined a Cult." You can build a maggot therapy foom for your followers. Cute 70's themed game.

Absolutely. I'd agree to leaches, too. I'd bet both work better, are cheaper and have far fewer bad side effects than pharmaceuticals.

But, God willing, I never NEED any of it!

Funny guys here.

It's a pretty grim thought, though, and worth a nervous joke.

I'm not going to watch the videos either. Nothing worse than seeing maggots.

But, yes, if I were at risk of losing an appendage or limb, I would follow a doctor's advice. No way do I want to watch, though.

No, the "worse" part is needing maggots.

I'm out, but heading to the nearest really hot wild hot spring. Those dissolved salts, and minerals (especially arsenic) are great for wounds,.....and hemoroids.
