    They do serve a purpose in nature as well as in the medical field. Wikipedia has a good amount of information on them if you'd like to check them out.


    Regulation

    In January 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted permission to produce and market maggots for use in humans or other animals as a prescription-only medical device for the following indications:[15][16] "For debriding non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or post-surgical wounds." In February 2004, the British National Health Service (NHS) permitted its doctors to prescribe maggot therapy. In Europe, Canada and Japan maggots are classified as medicinal drugs, needing a full market licence. In US maggots for medicinal use are classified as a device.
