I'm sure I saw somewhere that one way of 'encouraging' the larve to leave the host was to place a slice of raw bacon over the wound to coax the maggot out. There was a pic of a guy with the bacon attached to the top of his head with some string to keep it in place...
Whatever, it just makes me cringe though.
