Human beings are capable of digesting insects, in either their adult or larval form.
If a human eats a maggot, generally nothing will happen. Some stomach upset might happen, but a maggot cannot evolve when in a stomach, and will deteriorate quickly in stomach acids. Some fly species, however, are more resistant to stomach acids.

∙ 13y agoFlies carry around disease, even newborns can kill you. So don't ever eat one! If you did, them you would have to go to the hospital and then they would have to do surgery to get it out. Believe me, it's painful ( If you have anesthetic, you won't feel it ).
22/06/10 by Pablo1982 - an addendum to the above:- in all probability you'll suffer no harm from eating maggots. they'll have to survive being chewed, swallowed, acidified and emulsified and being passed into an oxygen depleted space. you'll probably be fine. in fact there are accounts of people surviving on eating them for their protein content to keep the old nitrogen balance in the body just about right.
