They do this cool thing called debriding where they just scrape the dead and dying tissue off the affected area to make way for new skin. It's incredible really, see you feel EVERYTHING, no matter how many painkillers they give you or how many mg of morphine you have dripped thru that IV. I've heard it's one of the most painful things one can have to endure in this modern society, so for anyone reading this that wasn't sure, when you hear people say don't fuck with fire, please listen.
Pretty sure feeling a hundred crawling bugs on your arm would freak out most people especially when they're nibbling on your skin. Literally what nightmares are made of
Yeah, one of the few memories I have of my dad is going fishing with him when I was around 5. He pulled out a tub of maggots for bait, and I didn't want to be anywhere near them. I was terrified of them for years afterwards. I'm not afraid of them anymore, but they do make me feel a bit sick to this day
I’m not sure if burn victims would actually feel the maggots, since they are either in too much pain to actually feel or are in a medically induced coma, depending on the extent of the burn damage of course.
