What Causes Larvae On The Ulcers While On Warfarin?
my cousin is visiting me from out of state. we both are on warfarin and have alcers. today when I got back from work we were changing our bandaids and she had very small larva leaving the wound. she was to leave to go home tomorrow afternoon. should she wait till she gets home to go to her doctor? what should we do now it has been three hours and no new sightings so far .
According to the history you provide it means that the wound is contaminated and needs to be clean by a surgeon and no wasting time because if not cleaned the infection will be spread in the organism
