Sihanoukville, Foreigner Found Sleeping Rough Under Tent with Infectious Legs Full of Worms

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

"did he not just think to go wash his foot in the sea? surely the salt water would help heal the wounds-

You mean the place where they dump sewage? Plus many infectious bacteria live in salt water Those worms look like maggots to me. I would guess the flies laid their eggs in an existing infection.

Agreed.
While in Europe or America I think the huge majority of homeless people were driven into it without any recourse. I do see the SEA western homeless as the old days bums we used to have back home back in the days when everyone willing to work had a job.

sea water is full of really nasty pathogens.
the isopods would probably eat the necrotic flesh quickly though.
that is what the maggots are doing.before antibiotics maggots were intentionally introduced into septic wounds, particularly on the field of battle.

MDT is still an ongoing practice, but using disinfected maggots,
not those found on a homeless person in a 3rd world country,
im guessing there are just as many nasty pathogens on land as there are in the sea, his foot probably started off as a simple surface wound that he allowed to get infected due to not keeping the wound clean
then again im no doctor
