How do i cure myiasis?

At home???: In many circles the first response to cutaneous myiasis once the breathing hole has formed, is to cover the air hole thickly with petroleum jelly. Lack of oxygen then forces the larva to the surface, where it can more easily be dealt with. First the larva must be eliminated through pressure around the lesion and the use of forceps. Secondly the wound must be cleaned and disinfected.

Surgical removal: Myiasis is the infection of a fly larva (maggot) in human tissue. Fly larvae need to be surgically removed by a medical profession. After removal, the wound is left open and should be cleaned well at least daily. Proper hygiene of wounds is very important when treating myiasis. Sometimes medication is given, depending on the type of larva that causes the problem.
