[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 1369735, member: 663"] Screw worms were repulsive creatures!! Never did like being close to them even to kill them. Read a book sometime back about two brothers who were ranching together (Can't remember the name or author). I think they were probably in Texas. When they had to fight these creatures they would each mount up in the morning and ride in different directions to cover more ground. Anything that needed treating they would rope and treat. I think of this every time someone thinks they just have to have to have modern trailers, head gates, squeeze chutes to work cattle. Cowboys did what needed to be done with what they had, that is a horse and a rope. They didn't understand "can't". Maggots have sometimes been used to clean wounds in humans by the medical people. Don't know if that is still done or not. Probably is somewhere. I don't want to ever be subjected to that treatment. Ugh! [/QUOTE]
