What Is Myiasis?
6. What Are Its Symptoms?
For most people, myiasis presents with sores that do not heal properly. These boils may be accompanied by drainage from a central puncture point. In some cases, the end of a maggot may be visible in a wound.
Pain, discomfort, and irritation are common in surrounding tissue. This may be warm to the touch and swollen. Individuals with creeping myiasis often develop a red line that is left as the larvae tunnels throughout their body.
