Ways To Treat And Prevent Myiasis

Wash Anything That Touches The Wound

In case you have a wound, make sure you keep the wound dressing clean and dry. The habit helps in avoiding re-infestations. Ensure you properly wash clothes or anything that comes in contact with the wound. Also, iron your clothes after washing to kill any flies clinging on them. When drying the clothes, hang them on open airspace and under direct sunlight. The practice helps in ensuring they drain well to kill any clinging maggots. Properly wash clothes and avoid reusing dirty clothes. Ensure the environment around you is clean to avoid getting into contact with infected flies. Remember, regularly wash your hands after playing with pets, after eating, and after attending to your wound.
