> Curious on how maggots and leeches may overlap with their medical uses? I think very little. I have no relevant expertise, but I think maggots are used mainly because they eat dead flesh - good for cleaning out necrotic wounds. IIRC, leeches are used in the modern era for the impacts they can have on your vascular system (since they've evolved to suck blood, they have some interesting biochemistry around that, IIUC).
