I saw a show on Discovery about this. Diabetic people with ulcers that start to rot and wont heal. The maggots will only eat dead rotten flesh and wont touch living flesh. They wrap some specialy breed tiny sterile maggots over the wound then after several days they remove them. They are like 10 times the size when they started eating. Gross as hell but very effective. Much more so than a physicians scalpel.
