when they say "these maggots only eat dead flesh", does that mean all maggots all just the ones they had?

i feel sorry for her but she should have prevented it earlier before it gets to that scene. thanks to maggot therapy! but that doesn't feel nice i guess and it's very malodorous.

If the patient lost about 350 pounds, her diabetes would be manageable and she would not need maggot therapy. I trust that her doctor let her know that whilst he was debriding the wound. Outrageous.

They're creepy as all hell, but if they can save lives, I'm all for it.
