Homeless Man Lifts Up His Pants. What He’s Farming Might Turn Your Stomach
If you’re about to chow down you may want to wait a little while before scrolling down for this one.
Get this, this guy has been letting these maggots feast on the flesh right above his ankles; and it looks to be spreading. Yuck right? Well yeah, that’s pretty disgusting I can’t lie. But I’ll be damned if it’s not the right way to go about it.
For many, medical help can seem a bit too far out of reach, either due to location or due to money – and maggots are a highly effective and long-standing treatment for infections. Surprisingly, the little insects will only eat away the dead or rotting flesh, keeping any infection from spreading and killing you. Little pro-tip, if you ever find yourself with frostbite or an infection somewhere away from medical help, this could save your life!
So all in all those maggots and that homeless person are in a binding agreement; they keep him alive and he keeps them alive. With that being said, if you CAN get medical help instead, you probably should.
