Yes, good points.  However, I would like to talk about maggots - 
literally.  Can anyone tell me anything about "flystrike"?  I've never 
heard of this.  Is flystrike something that happens to horses?  I just 
heard about it with respect to someone's dog who died of it just yesterday. 
I looked on the internet and couldn't really figure it out - it appears to 
be a situation when maggots get into a wound and then somehow the critter 
dies.  Is there some disease involved?  I thought using maggots on wounds 
was coming back into popularity (oh yuck, spare me the treatment).
