I know things are bad with the NHS in Britain but this is not good. Memo to self - don't get sick in the UK.

As disgusting as it sounds, it is far better and safer than using the powerful antibiotics. Fewer side effects, less complications, and effective in local areas.

The article starts with: "Feel Sick?"

Well, I hadn't before. But after finishing the headline, you can bet I do.

agreed, once you get past the ick factor, maggots are a much better alternative. They only eat dead flesh, hence they clean wounds very effectively, leaving all the living flesh intact.

Plus they are specially bred in labs, and are sterile, so there's no risk of infection from them.

just don't try it at home after cultivating your own set of maggots on last week's left-over curry!
