In the navy, some guy in his barracks had a cast on his arm for a few weeks. He complained it was itchy for a few days. One night he woke the whole barracks up screaming, and he was smashing his cast onto the bed frame and walls, screaming "get this fucking thing off me!". they removed the cast and there were all kinds of insect larvae eating my boys arm.
Don't some places actually put maggots in casts in open wounds? They only eat dead flesh, so as long as they're clean it actually helps the wound heal a lot quicker
