>Whilst an investigation is still ongoing, it is believed that during the warmer summer months when Linda was in hospital, windows were likely to have been open.
>As a result, she and her family believe that while her wound was left without a cover, a fly had laid its eggs inside.
>After Linda’s foot was left uncovered for a few days, her family say a new dressing was put on and the maggots hatched.
>When the bandage was then uncovered, maggots were seen to be present in the wound.
>Mother-of-four Linda said she could feel the ‘nasty’ fly larvae wriggling around in her foot.
>She said: “**I thought, Where the hell did they come from?’** because I didn’t have maggots before. It was very odd, considering it’s a hospital… I could feel them. It was a tickling feeling and when he took the bandage off it was full of maggots looking at you. I wasn’t expecting that.
>“He covered it back over and said, ‘Speak to the medical staff the next day’. By then, the maggots had got bigger.”
>It wasn’t until the following day that the maggots were removed.
This woman is remarkably calm considering there are MAGGOTS inside her FOOT. If i was in this situation you’d hear me screaming from the Scottish Highlands for a week straight

Maggots are a legit medical technique to remove necrotic tissue from a wound. They only eat diseased dead tissue.
