Maggot medicine: This is one of the grossest, and coolest, videos you'll see in a long time

Remember the dead pig cam experiment Science Buzz conducted last fall? Click here to refresh your memory. Well, National Geographic has a video report on how maggots are used to clean wounds in medical procedures. You'll also get to see maggot decomposing other animals in this footage. You have been warned that this is very graphic footage.

The game is on the website scratch.mit.edu it is call della
