Maggots used to eat away foot infection end up saving U.K. man's life
Medical Mysteries and Marvels: Matthew Blurton says he is lucky to be alive after 400 maggots were used to eat away at a deadly foot infection. Burton, who was volunteering in Africa in 2017, became feverish and was unable to stand after being bitten by an unknown insect and developing a severe infection. Doctors decided to treat the wound with sterile maggots which Burton credits with saving his life.
