They put live maggots under a dressing on your wound that won't heal.  Ew.....

Its actually a really cool process. I am all for it. Its gross yes, but so magnificent. Maggots go in a cast goes on. Nasty skin underneath. And then like a butterfly when the cast comes off, moths fly out and ya got pretty skin.

Maggots are effective, efficient, and painless. Manual debridement of dead tissue is not.
