Maggots do not harm humans, seeing maggots feasting off of a dead corpse, animal or simply rotting flesh is only the nature of the maggots. They eat Dead flesh and they have not caused the fate of the corpse. Although, there is a possible way that certain species of flies can lay a larvae of Maggots into a living person. I.e mosquito larvae. Therefore it can be infected and become fatal to the host. Although, it is the Infection itself that is harmful, not the maggots. And is quite easy to remove the maggots from the host in itself and many doctors have seen action of this.
