Fascinating.
Maggots only eat dead flesh, not living flesh.
So although it will feel a tad creepy, they actually are helping not huring.
Yes! It's amazing that it's an old and seemingly primitive practice that still persists.
I would imagine that it would feel less icky than it looks. We just don't like seeing that many critters in one place.
I would imagine it kind of tickles.
And if I imagined them as mini cleaning robots instead of, you know, maggots, that would actually sound like fun...
