Science

told of a burn victim during, IIRC the Vietnam War, who had been heavily bandaged during transport and had spent many days in an overcrowded field hospital.

In what started out sounding like a very sad story, flies had gotten under the bandages and there were maggots under the bandages.

The medic who'd told him the story said that the horrific burns that had been infested with maggots healed up so well as to be almost unrecognizable compared to his other burns.

I know, third-hand, unreliable, anecdotal info but I always wondered if I'd every suffered burns whether I might request maggot treatment.
