Love Leaches And Maggots

The medicinal use of leaches and maggots is not a new practice by any means. They are used in nearly every modern hospital to perform duties contrary to their reputations.

If a person were to sever a finger, after being sewn back on a leach would be applied to the tip of the finger to drain blood and encourage the body to pump blood to the reattached appendage. Or if a person were to have a gaping wound with sever necrosis, it would be common to bandage maggots into the open wound to consume the rotting flesh preserving the healthy tissue.

Naturally these little creatures are still revered as disgusting, but they can still do some good despite themselves.

So could this apply to a person? Could a bad person use their "badness" to help someone?
