maggot

Patient wounds routinely crawling with maggots because health care facilities have no access to soap, gauze, disinfectant and running water.

The infestation cycle continues when the maggots emerge 10 days later, drop from the fruit and burrow two to three centimeters into the dirt to pupate.

Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating who contaminated a breakfast buffet served to delegates at the Democratic National Convention with maggots.

“Occasionally the smell would hit but not very often. Obviously there's things like maggots which we all don't like to think of… but nothing ever felt horrifying or like a horror film.”

The animals were also being fed with food that contained maggots, mould and faeces, while some nursing mothers were not given anything to eat at all.
