Maggots eat what?
-
Living flesh
-
Dead flesh
Correct Answer
A. Dead fleshExplanation
Maggots are the larvae of flies and they are known to feed on decaying organic matter, including dead flesh. This is because maggots are scavengers and they play an important role in the decomposition process of dead animals. They break down the dead tissue by consuming it, aiding in the natural recycling of nutrients back into the ecosystem. Therefore, it is accurate to say that maggots eat dead flesh.Rate this question:

Additionally, the saliva of maggots contains anti-bacterial properties that help in preventing infection. Therefore, all of the given options, including eating only dying tissue and having anti-bacterial effects in their saliva, contribute to the effectiveness of maggot therapy.Rate this question:

-
2 inches
-
4mm
-
1mm
Correct Answer
A. 2mmExplanation
Maggots used for wound treatment are typically around 2mm in size. This size is considered optimal for effective wound debridement, as the maggots are able to consume necrotic tissue and bacteria while avoiding healthy tissue. Larger maggots may cause excessive damage to the wound, while smaller maggots may not be as efficient in cleaning the wound. Therefore, 2mm is the preferred size for maggot therapy.Rate this question:
