What is the lifespan of a fly?
The common housefly (suborder Cyclorrhapha) generally can have a life cycle of 15 to 30 days. The lifespan varies depending on the temperatures and living conditions. Four distinct stages characterize its life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs, which resemble individual rice grains, hatch within a day; larvae, also known as maggots, live for three to five days; and the pupal stage lasts three to six days.
How would live maggots be found after cooking chicken?
If they were found on the chicken immediately after cooking and while it was still warm, the maggots probably came from somewhere else and not the cooked chicken. Fly eggs can hatch within 24 hours of laying. If the chicken was left out to cool, a fly could have laid eggs on it then.

How do you get rid of maggots living in a wound?
Maggots within a wound are typically not a major danger (and in fact sometimes a good thing, as they seem to confine themselves to consuming only necrotic tissue). This gives you time to assess the situation and choose an effective, safe approach. Ideally, flushing maggots from the wound with sterile saline works very well. Sterile saline is pretty harmless stuff and is used to remove pretty much any foreign material from open wounds. Alternately, in the case of a very small number of individuals, you can also remove maggots from a wound with tweezers. You most definitely don't want to use toxins to kill them. First, as you're dealing with an open wound, the toxins you use will find easy access to the patient's system. Secondly, maggots can decompose when dead, thus introducing a bacterial threat. Bear in mind that maggots are a larval stage, and as such will not reproduce within a wound. Note also that maggots are sometimes used clinically, especially in cases where super-sensitive debridement of necrotic tissued, especially from burns, is desirable. In this case, the maggots in question are sterilzed (both in the antiseptic and reproductive sense). Old school paramedics will also tell you that discovering maggots in the bandaged wounds of transients and people that cannot perform good wound care, is a good sign, usually meaning that the wound will be clean and uninfected.

What happens to the genitals of male and female bodies when you die?
After death, the genitals of both male and female bodies undergo a process called livor mortis, which is the pooling of blood in the lower parts of the body. This can cause engorgement and discoloration in the genital area. However, within a few hours to days after death, the body begins to decompose, and the genitals, like the rest of the body, will eventually decompose and break down.
What does it means dream with white maggots in the bladder?
Dreams can, occasionally, reflect physical conditions within the physical body. So it is possible that this dream is an attempt by your mind to bring a bladder infection to your conscious attention. If you are experiencing abdominal pain or bloating or difficulty in urinating, you would be wise to consult a medical professional. > Alternatively, on the symbolic level, maggots represent rot and corruption, while the bladder is an organ that rids waste from the body. Together these symbols suggest a need to get rid of something that is "rotting" or corrupting you from within. Again, "within" can be viewed in the symbolic sense, as in your thoughts or ideas or feelings.
