??? What is that? Fozzy bear humping his leg?

Eiiiww OMG WTF!?!?!

Very odd, though - the rest of his body and clothes look relatively normal and healthy. How the hell does an otherwise normal person let something like that get so far gone?

Seriously WTFFF? Any background, C-man?

I just searched what I could on this. Not much info, and no proof any of it is correct. Apparently it was a homeless guy who got gangrene and didn't seek care for a few weeks.

there is a legitimate medical use of maggots in similar situations. they have the useful, albeit disgusting behavior of eating flesh, but only dead flesh. So in some cases of wound care the introduction of maggots (on living people, on purpose, urghk) permits the would to be cleaned, or debrided with a minimum of further damage to the flesh in the wound.

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly... Go get the spiders

If my garbage can is any indication, that number of maggots can spawn and hatch in just 24 hours. Obviously he had to ignore the gangrene for a long time, but all it would take is one major bender lying on the ground passed out for a day and they'd be all up in that.

Or maybe they were deliberately put on to treat the gangrene, like BigV mentioned.

I have zero info on it. I still don't know how to use the google image search. :/

I have heard what glatt said, but cannot confirm.

Found this FWIW ...
Then this:

Perhaps a mod would adjust the original post to include the credit thanks. (Sorry)

done

thanks glatt.

Frighteningly enough, I don't think that's the same homeless guy. It would mean that first they cut the pants higher and then put his shoe back on for the photo earlier in the thread.

i fear you're right. more maggots in the above pic too, and the legs are different sizes, the skin is smooth and tan on one, and white and hairy in the other... plus the jeans are diff colors.
