The Wonderful World of Medicinal Maggots

Medicinal Maggots really are wonderful little creatures that work to help heal wounds cleanly and efficiently. This insightful animation from research at Swansea University will explain all! www.swansea.ac.uk/humanandheal...
Associate Professor, Dr Yamni Nigam, has dedicated years of research into medicinal maggots that can be put onto a wound to help it heal and close up. She would now like to help increase the awareness of how brilliantly maggots can help heal wounds.
As soon as the eggs hatch, the little baby maggots are packed into small sealed bags to be sent all over the UK and beyond, for doctors and nurses to apply onto wounds.
The maggots used to help heal wounds, are Welsh! They are specially reared under strict, clean conditions in laboratories in Bridgend, South Wales.
The use of maggots on wounds dates back centuries to biblical times, and traverses numerous ancient tribes and cultures, including the Central American Mayan Indians and the Aborigines of New South Wales.
