The healing power of maggots is not new Human beings have discovered it several times The Maya are said to have used maggots for therapeutic purposes a thousand years ago As early as the sixteenth century, European doctors noticed that soldiers with maggot-infested wounds healed well More recently, doctors have realized that maggots can be cheaper and more effective than drugs in some respects, and

these squirming larvae have, at times, enjoyed a quiet medical renaissance The problem may have more

to do with the weak stomachs of those using them than with good science The modern heyday of maggot therapy began during World War I, when an American doctor named William Baer was shocked to notice that two soldiers who had lain on a battlefield for a week while their abdominal wounds became infested with thousands of maggots, had recovered better than wounded men treated in the military hospital After the war, Baer proved to the medical establishment that maggots could cure some of the toughest infections

In the 1930s hundreds of hospitals used maggot therapy Maggot therapy requires the right kind of larvae Only the maggots of blowflies (a family that includes common bluebottles and greenbottles) will do

the job; they devour dead tissue, whether in an open wound or in a corpse Some other maggots, on the

other hand, such as those of the screw-worm eat live tissue They must be avoided When blowfly eggs

hatch in a patient’s wound, the maggots eat the dead flesh where gangrene-causing bacteria thrive They

also excrete compounds that are lethal to bacteria they don’t happen to swallow Meanwhile, they ignore live flesh, and in fact, give it a gentle growth-stimulating massage simply by crawling over it When they

metamorphose into flies, they leave without a trace – although in the process, they might upset the hospital staff as they squirm around in a live patient When sulfa drugs, the first antibiotics, emerged

around the time of World War II, maggot therapy quickly faded into obscurity

In the first half of the nineteenth century, the U.S government decided that it needed to set up a system for protecting its coastline It then began building a series of forts along the coast of the eastern part

of the country to facilitate its defenses

The largest of these forts was Fort Jefferson, which was begun in 1846 This fort was built on Garden Key, one of a cluster of small coral islands 70 miles west of Key West At the time of its construction Fort Jefferson was believed to be of primary strategic importance to the United States because

Trang 4

of its location at the entryway to the Gulf of Mexico Because of its location at the entrance to a great body

of water, it became known as the Gibraltar of the Gulf, in reference to the island located at the mouth of the

Mediterranean The fort itself was a massive structure It was hexagonal in shape, with 8-foot-thick walls, and was surrounded by a medieval-style moat for added security Covering most of the Garden Key, it was

approximately half a mile in circumference

In the latter half of the nineteenth century, during the Civil War and its aftermath, the fort was used

as a prison rather than a military installation The most notorious of its prisoners was Dr Samuel Mudd, a physician who was the most probably innocently involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln The actual assassin, John Wilkes Booth, broke his leg as he left from the stage of the Ford Theater during the assassination Dr Mudd set Booth’s broken leg, unaware of Booth’s involvement in the assassination As a result of this action, Dr Mudd was sentenced to life in prison and remanded to Fort Jefferson He was

pardoned after only four years because of his courageous efforts in combating an epidemic of yellow fever

that ravaged the fort

Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s, although the U.S Navy continued with sporadic use of it into the twentieth century Today, the massive ruins still remain on the tiny island that stands guard over the entrance to the gulf, undisturbed except for the occasional sightseer who ventures out from the coast to visit
