WORKING ON IT

Got 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 Slip½ 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.
