*DID YOU KNOW?*

* Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is a technique where live fly larvae (maggots) are introduced into a wound to consume dead tissue, pus, and slough, effectively cleaning the wound and removing debris. MDT is often used for chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and wounds with antibiotic-resistant infections where other treatments have failed.

* Owls can rotate their heads 270 degrees because they have twice as many vertebrae in their neck as humans do.
