I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Accidentally ingesting maggots does not generally cause any lasting harm. However, if a person has ingested maggots through eating spoiled food, they may be at risk of food poisoning. Symptoms of food poisoning can range from very mild to serious, and they can sometimes last for several days. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
