[QUOTE="fourstates, post: 565079, member: 5918"] Our fly larvae "maggot"s do eat only dead tissue...but screw worms eat live tissue and who knows what kind of insect larvae there may be in South Africa. The key to the wound healing is to allow it to heal from the inside out. Don't let it close up. Since it doesn't drain, you may keep it open with moist gauze. Pull the dried out guaze twice a day, flush the wound out and repack the wound. Healthy tissue is pink and a little bleeding is OK. You really want the dead tissue and drainage out of the wound. You don't want the wound to scab over until the hole is filled with pink healthy tissue. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
