Maggots are used for fishing bait and human therapy.
In North America, maggots have been used for years mainly as ice fishing bait; recently, however, anglers have started using them year round.
Certain live maggots have been employed since antiquity as an economical, safe and effective type of wound debridement.

Screw worms, but they aren't really worms at all -
they're maggots.
Screw worms are the larvae of a kind of fly that lays eggs in the open wounds of cattle. When they hatch, the maggots feed on the animal's tissue, using sharp mandibles to tear at the flesh. Screw worms can kill cattle in 10 days if left untreated.
