Myiasis is the infestation of tissue with fly larvae, commonly referred to as maggots. It is widespread in the tropics and subtropics of Africa and the Americas, and occurs with significantly less frequency in most other areas of the world.

The infestation is most often subcutaneous and produces a furunculoid or boil-like lesion, but it is also known to occur in wounds and certain body cavities.Does anyone know a better word to describe this as gross?!
