nonresidentalien: cloveraya: mabelmoments: Maggot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a maggot (larva) of a bluebottle fly (Protophormia sp.). The maggots of this fly are used medicinally to clean wounds. Its mouthparts are seen at centre right (grey). The maggots are sterilised and placed in the wound, where they feed on dead tissue and leave healthy tissue untouched. Their saliva contains anti- bacterial chemicals which maintain sterility in the area. Maggots are used on ulcers and deep wounds away from organs or body cavities, most often being used to treat diabetic ulcers on the feet. (via sciencephoto) HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO CLEAN WOUNDS WITH THIS THING?  THIS IS ABSURD. nice now everytime i see a maggot im going too scream bloody murder - damn ugly thing innit
