DemoTex, a suggestion for you...
Maggots help cure MRSA patients

The maggots successfully treated MRSA in an average of three weeks
Maggots are being used to help successfully treat MRSA patients in record time, according to a new study by the University of Manchester.
Researchers used green bottle fly larvae to treat 13 diabetics whose foot ulcers were contaminated with MRSA.

They found that all but one were cured within a mean period of three weeks, instead of the usual 28 weeks for conventional treatment.

The university has now been awarded a £98,000 grant to carry out more test.

Might be more comfortable than your current regime. How are you today?
