File this under WTF? India is a wonderful country. It delivers WTF in a more impressive manner than any other. We’ve had so many cases of severe infections and myiasis on Best Gore, it doesn’t surprise me anymore seeing someone let it go this far. Yet I must ask regardless – when maggots eat a hole into your head, how do you not freak out and try to do something about it? How do you let it go till your white skull is exposed?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the man picking up maggots with tweezers was a doctor of sorts (perhaps a village healer?). He was probably the one who applied maggots to the necrotic flesh in the first place. My understanding is that maggots don’t eat living tissue, but feed on dead flesh instead. The man with the hole in his head probably suffered from an infection and didn’t have it looked at until half of his skull was exposed. To stop further deterioration of flesh, maggots were applied.
