I’m a wound care Doc. Maggots have been used to treat wounds since Egyptian times. In fact, some patients come to us with maggots.

Of course the maggots are sterile and shipped to us from maggot farms.

Don’t understand the point of this article.

If they send all the leeches and maggots to war zone, who will stay behind in Washington DC to run the country?

Long known to be useful to remove gangrene and other rotting flesh - my first thought was that only Democrat doctors would be allowed to treat them....

A book that talked about one of the badly burned employees (maybe military) from the Pentagon on 9/11 was treated this way. Very difficult to read but had to be much worse to go through it..both the burns and the treatment but it worked.

Why would one send progressive congresscritters and journalists in to heal the injured?

That was one of the key first aid items carried by the British soldiers in the “Richard Sharpe” series of books written by Bernard Cornwell. Considering that maggots only eat dead flesh, it certainly sounds like a valid way to promote the healing process ...
