Plasters, Bandages, Antiseptic Cream and Maggots

If you read any Bernard Cornwell you will know that Harper is always fond out whipping out his maggots to clean up the latest wound inflicted on his friend Sharpe. What I didn't realise was that this was still seen by some as acceptable medical practice as this article relates, as it seems to make a reasonable amount of sense.

Maybe I should try it on the thumb I successfully inpaled on a screwdriver, although the sight of this could be distracting for the others in the Publishing Meeting.
