Some people will find this whole subject disgusting, but it is still a legitimate aspect of human knowledge. Maggots eat dead flesh but not living flesh. Therefore, they will get on living people who have serious wounds that include some dead flesh, but they will get in dead people who are made entirely of dead flesh (if you let them, of course - human burial customs usually prevent maggots from getting in).
