The maggots do not bite or sting, they are harmless and have not been found to carry diseases.

The only situation in which they are harmful to humans is if someone inadvertently swallows larvae whilst drinking contaminated water.

If the swallowed larvae survive, they may cause intestinal myiasis in humans.
