The image depicts what looks like maggots inside a wound, which is typically caused by a condition known as cutaneous myiasis. Causes of this condition: 1. Fly Infestation (Myiasis): • Certain flies (like botflies, screwworm flies, or blowflies) lay their eggs on open wounds, sores, or even intact skin. • The eggs hatch into larvae (maggots), which then burrow into the tissue and feed on necrotic (dead) or sometimes living flesh. 2. Poor Hygiene or Neglected Wound Care: • If a wound is left untreated, flies are more likely to infest it. • This is more common in tropical/subtropical regions and in people with limited access to healthcare. 3. Underlying Medical Issues: • Chronic wounds (e.g., from diabetes, vascular disease, or bedsores) are more susceptible. • People with weakened immune systems or poor mobility are at higher risk. Important to note: • Sometimes images like this are digitally altered for shock value or used as clickbait ads (like the “Swipe Up” caption suggests). • If this is a genuine medical case, the cause would be fly larvae infestation of an untreated wound.
