No, if you mean, catching a case of magots from a dog. From the grown flies from the maggots, that's problematical. Really good biologists are still argueing about that one. It's helpful to be dead, unless you got really bad Skin Care with the dog. Or sheep, or goat; then, it might not be living tissue but just dead surface tissue. Watch out for secondary infection. Not maggots. Side point: If you got screw-worms in a living dog or any other animal, you really need to get in touch with the Department of Agriculture, in the United States of either America or Mexico at once. Maggots in living tissue are a serious public health problem, not to mention, the entire livestock industry. The Screw worm has cost billions of dollars, ended cultures, and wiped out lives.

∙ 10y agoThere is no way that a maggot can do any harm to human body. Maggots are interested in eating dead tissues and will keep away from tissues that are alive. However, it is important to stay clean to avoid them.
