Mark's post about maggots and leeches is fascinating, but I'm such a wimp that I won't view the page with any meal on the horizon. Is it safe to check that page? I was traumatized by pictures at Snopes of a guy with maggots in his brain, and another guy that had them in his gums. While I recognize that these are "clean" maggots, I can't get over the idea that seeing a picture of a bone-deep wound filled with maggots will somehow dull my appetite.

Oddly, the concept of medical leeches has absolutely no negative effect on me at all.
