WORKING ON IT
Dr. Robert Kirsner / AP In January 2012, maggots
became the first live animals to win Food and Drug
Administration approval.
Think of these wriggly little creatures not as, well, gross,
but as miniature surgeons: Maggots are making a
medical comeback, cleaning out wounds that just won't
heal. Wound-care clinics around the country are giving
maggots a try on some of their sickest patients after
high-tech treatments fail.
It's a therapy quietly championed since the early 1990s by
a California physician who's earned the nickname Dr.
Maggot. But Dr. Ronald Sherman's maggots are getting
more attention since, in January, they became the first
live animals to win Food and Drug Administration
approval, as a medical device to clean out wounds.
Exit Slip ½ sheet of paper
The maggot is a modern healing device being used to
remove the dead tissue that impedes healing. Research
shows that in the mere two to three days they live in a
wound, maggots also produce substances that kill bacteria
and stimulate growth of healthy tissue. Maggots can
assist in the healing of patients when conventional
therapy alone isn't enough.
