Cutaneous Myiasis
Wound myiasis
Open wounds, typically in people who are unsheltered, those who have Alcohol-related disorders , and anyone experiencing substandard hygienic conditions, may become infested with fly larvae. The tissues that line the mouth, nose, or eyes (mucosa) may also become infested. The most common flies are green or black blowflies. Unlike the larvae (maggots) of common houseflies, most larvae that cause wound myiasis invade healthy as well as dead tissue. Doctors remove the larvae by flushing the wounds and pulling the larvae out. Doctors also cut away any dead tissue.
