[HAZ60]

Hi,

has anyone ever had maggot treatment for an ulcer wound that's not healing

Not personally - but I believe it is very effective.

I’ve not received this but have heard about it. By all accounts it is extremely effective and is well worth doing.

My father did. As gross as it seems, it is very effective.

I am sorry the honey didn’t work..did you use the wound honey? I have never heard of it not working … if this isn’t what you used try it much luck to you

This is the brand I have used and prescribed for many years

Hi HAZ60,

This isn't something I had heard of before so wanted to look in to it a bit. You may find this NHS resource interesting to read: chelwest.nhs.uk/your-visit/...

Hi, HAZ60.

They are used in NHS for the treatment of non-healing wounds and for gangrene. I've seen them used in a hospital setting, to good effect.

If you put your question to a well known search engine, you'll see details.
