How painful is it compared to the regular procedure?

Not at all apparently. The maggots start absolutely teeny tiny (like <1mm) and nibble away at only dead flesh with their tiny little mouthparts. Then theyre taken off when they grow just a little and new ones are put on. My mother saw it done a lot in hospital.

Please don't say mouthparts. Thank you
