Education is not an assessment
MedicalMaggots.com supplies general reading resources and communication tools. It does not diagnose wounds, recommend a treatment for an individual, prescribe medicines or products, or establish a clinician–patient relationship. A guide cannot assess circulation, medical history, a dressing, or the cause of an unexpected change.
Do not collect, prepare, apply, or remove larvae using instructions inferred from this site. Do not change a wound-care or medication plan based on a resource page. The relevant healthcare professional and product-specific instructions govern actual care.
Get help through the appropriate channel
For an existing treatment, follow the contact and escalation instructions from the responsible service. For worsening health, a worsening wound, or an urgent concern, seek appropriate professional care. Do not wait for an editorial reply, a provider-directory update, or a research search result.
The public contact form is for the website. It must not be used to send wound photographs, diagnoses, patient records, prescriptions, or requests for real-time treatment advice. The browser tools produce questions and notes; they do not send a referral, book an appointment, or notify a clinician.
Understand the limits of references
An external link is not an endorsement. A regulatory record does not approve this website or establish individual suitability. A research summary cannot replace the original methods and limitations. An educational page may be awaiting independent clinical review; check its visible status.
No guarantee is made that a listed external resource offers a service at a particular time or location. Confirm details with the service itself. The website does not guarantee treatment availability, coverage, outcomes, or the accuracy of information after an external source changes.
Report website errors without disclosing patient information
Use Contact to identify an incorrect claim, broken source, or misleading attribution. Include the wording and source, not a personal case history. Reports help maintain the publication; they are not a clinical consultation.
