there is a legitimate medical use of maggots in similar situations. they have the useful, albeit disgusting behavior of eating flesh, but only dead flesh. So in some cases of wound care the introduction of maggots (on living people, on purpose, urghk) permits the would to be cleaned, or debrided with a minimum of further damage to the flesh in the wound.
