NO mf stop ruining the gacha community by spamming these cringy ahh comments + what gachatuber plays gacha life anymore? Get some knowledge cuz there I'd gacha club, gacha studio,gacha life 2 and more 🤦♀️@@kevnLreemsj
what I learned- may not be true, was that in a war they found some injured soldiers with maggots in their wounds. They thought the soldiers would die but the soldiers survived because the maggots ate all the infected flesh
Maggots of flies like screw worm etc. can also eat live tissues and can be killed by turpentine oil ,alcohol, heated water that is hot in good amount and arrange ambulance

It’s usually used in diabetic ulcers. They can sometimes be so bad that it takes years for the wounds to heal, because the blood supply is so compromised. The healing time is reduced by a lot with maggot therapy. They add the newly hatched maggots to the wound and close them in the wound with a bandage. After 1 to 3 days, the bandage is removed and the maggots, which are significantly bigger now, are picked out of the wound. From what I’ve heard, diabetics usually don’t feel the maggots, because the nerves are usually so damaged in the ulcers that they have almost no feeling in the area.
@@alexclark7284 no, they said sterile maggots, which are lab grown. Wild maggots would make it worse by letting more things infect your non infected skin after eating.
@@mjarred87Not really? Obviously there is risk of maggots introducing additional infections, but it should be noted that maggot therapy goes back millenia. Meaning it pre-exists modern notions of sterility with effectivity.
It's actually really interesting because these maggots ONLY eat dead flesh and leave living tissue completely alone, meaning they are legitimately really good at cleaning up an infected wound, disturbing as it is.
@@bloubear2557 well saying they only eat dead flesh they wouldnt dig into your healthy tissue allowing you to either suck them up or carefully extract them with tweezers.
""I learned this in Pharmacy Tech School many years ago. It was used for hundreds of years on battlefields and beyond, you can even see it done in the movie GLADIATOR"!😊❤
My pops used to get maggots by using wet cat food for our wild cat, wiped them down with a towel, and then used them to clean his necrotic ingrown toenail tissue as he hated taking antibiotics. They were very thorough in their preening and the tissue didn’t get much worse. Unfortunately I had to witness this multiple times before he learned to cut his nails right.
We still use a fair number of them, including the leeches. They do work, same with a lot of old herbal remedies and traditional treatments. The trick is knowing which ones actually work and why. Leeches are used when you have circulation issues. They can be added to help restore blood flow to affected areas that cant otherwise be remedied. Such as fingers. They thin the bood somewhat, and their slight sucking restores blood flow where lost.
@@Firesgoneyeah according to these comments people are real cowards of they are scared of maggots healing their wounds. Id understand more if they used spiders but maggots just slowly roll around.
@@Jebu911 If they're scared of this, they're in for a real wake up call. We found a *Healed* Neanderthal skull with a bronze plate over a deliberately made hole. Good chance that this was for blood letting, which is absolutely necessary if your blood pressure goes sky high and your brain is swelling. If a cave man can take care of such trauma, then we really shouldn't discount the old ways of dealing with sickness and wounds. Heck, some old religions had Gods born this way!
Pretty sure you'd be under anesthetic, so you wouldn't actually feel anything. And the maggots are likely removed afterwards, since they would only be eating the dead tissue
ER worker here: one time a homeless man came into the ER and he had some wounds around his body that were covered in these. The doctor had us keep the maggots on his body while they started him on anti-biotic IV fluids and later a shower. It was awesome to see how clean his wounds were, he was allowed to stay to tend to his wounds for a while before being discharged.
@@winstonleeman8739not quite so..they evolutionaryly only eat dead tissue and don't touch living ones. They even kill off harmful microbes. Plus it's better than having a large scar and slowed recovery.
I'm not the biggest fan of maggots, but when you think about it, they have a very important purpose in the ecosystem and to some extent I respect them!
Yeah without them the dead animal will keep bad odor for few months if it's keep up they will spread diseases but with maggots the corpse will only last few weeks and prevent the diseases
Maggot therapy is actually quite interesting, yes it’s extremely gross to have living bugs in your wound but maggots will only eat dead flesh so the maggots clean the wound and then die off so the wound can heal naturally
This is called maggot debridement therapy. The species used only feed on the necrotic dead tissue that inhibits wound healing, making way for fresh tissue to form in its place. This circumvents the cost and complications that can arise from more invasive surgery. They're also sequestered and don't crawl everywhere else on the patient.
Believed or not when Ayyub a.k.a Job in Hebrew or israeli traditions, when god give him a trials with unhealed scars that makes people feels so grossed and disgusting by near at him this insect is the cure. The story goes When God telling Ayyub if he want to completes his misery (which is God doesn't telling him on the first places because is his part of his plans a trials let's just say) he need to find certains ground animals and put them on his scars which is Ayyub did. And then a miracle start to begans after these animals eat his wounds Ayyub instantly got healed. That's a rad!!!
The information is correct but the animation might be misleading!! In the hospital I work at I've never heard of maggots being directly placed on a patient, they always come in special mesh band aids that allow them to eat but but not to get out physically!
One thing to point out, the maggots they use have a way bigger affinity for rotting/necrotizing flesh and they generally avoid the healthy tissue. It is extremely usefull for chronic ulcerative wounds and patients involved severe burns. It has been used medically around the world for hundreds of years with some pretty good results, but modern medicine generally approaches the therapy as a last resort due to obvious reasons. I'd say that for most patients it's better if it's used while they are in a medically induced coma (they already do it for pain management, they might as well do it for psychological reasons).
@@johnconnor2626 because in those pathologies/cases I've mentioned your immune system is already severely overwhelmed. That's why it is a last resort option. And these maggots aren't in of themselves an issue, they are pretty clean, especially if they are lab grown.
Imagine you at the office with a maggot arm and people are like eww what's that. And you reply "oh just maggots eating my flesh to heal me, now for our quarterly audit"😂
my dad went through this. He was diabetic and had this very nasty necrotic wound on his left leg that won't heal. It smelled so bad and we had to take him to the hospital for treatment. The doctor suggested 2 possible treatment. First is to amputate the leg or have maggots eat the rotting flesh on his wound. He opt for the maggots. After few days, the wound was healed.
It's actually a great treatment. It saves limbs from amputation, it can save lives. These maggots only eat dead and decomposing tissues, preventing bacteria growth and intoxication. They're tiny doctors that help you heal the wounds safely.
Plus it's also super cheap and basically like spending 5 dollar for a team of super precise surgeon, of course this practice should be done with maggots that have no bacteria on them to maximise the safety
MD here. It varies among regions and institutions. Here in Mexico the maggots are usually killed with tobacco leaves and then the wound is rinsed and cleaned manually. The tobacco is a cheap and effective way to get rid of them, since nicotine is deadly for these little critters. @@dianagutierrez5381
There's a very famous story of India's first Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw. While he was part of the Indian contingent of the British Army during their colonial occupation; he fought against the Japanese in Sittang Bridge, Burma (Myanmar) and was shot multiple times. He famously recounted that story about how the English doctor completely botched his wounds and failed to burn off corruption. His wounds became infected and infested with maggots. The maggots proved to be a blessing as they ate the rotting/septic flesh on the wounds; and it sustained him long enough to make it back to the regiment HQ & hospital where he was properly tended to by the doctors.
Yup. I have a book called "The War" (about WW2) and a pilot was involved in an accident that left a horrible infection in his arm. The nurses used the maggots on him and it saved his life. They would have had to amputate otherwise.
