FULL SCRIPT:
A US soldier would take a handful of maggots and place them on his wound, allowing them to eat the rotting flesh. Then he would cover the wound with a bandage and just keep fighting. You see, these maggots were drawn to dead tissue and often left the healthy skin untouched. So just a handful of them could kill the bacteria inside the wound, allowing it to heal faster.
