In Tumbler Ridge my parents used the shed during the winter for a freezer. One winter they forgot a pack of meat in the shed until spring. They never went in until the middle of May to get some lawn care products. Once my Dad moved the lawn mower, he discovered a package of steak that had been overlooked from winter. The steak was already starting to rot and was covered with maggots. Dakota

My dad worked in a garage fixing trailers. One trailer that he had to work on was one that hauled fish. When dad went inside the trailer the floor looked like it was moving. He looked a little closer and saw that the floor was covered in maggots. He had the trailer flushed out before he could work on it again without getting sick. Kyle

When my dad was 15 he worked on fishing boats. He was taking guts out of fish, and putting them in a bucket. He forgot to empty the bucket. Several days later, he looked into the bucket. There were maggots all over the fish guts. Raphe

My mom and some people were cleaning out my birth dad's apartment in Ft. McMurray. When they opened the kitchen cupboard there was a Kentucky Fried Chicken box. In the Kentucky Fried Chicken box were a few pieces of very, very old, partially eaten chicken. The chicken pieces were full of maggots! It was gross. Meghan L.W.

One day my mom went to the washroom while attending hairdressing school. My mom noticed something moving on the floor by the toilet. As she looked closer, she realized they were maggots. The school called the health inspector. The health inspector told them the maggots were coming through the wall from a garbage dumpster behind Harry's Meat Market. The meat had rotted. The maggots hatched. They crawled through the cracks in the wall and fell in the vents in the ceiling of the school. Mathew

My mom grew up in rural Alberta. In grade 3 my mom knew a boy who loved science experiments. His name was Andy Grey. One day after school, my mom went to Andy's backyard. Andy had left out some old food and maggots were on it. My mom thought it was a disgusting experiment. My mom ran from Andy's backyard screaming. Rayna

One evening Mom and Dad sat down to a spaghetti dinner. Dad reached for the parmesan cheese and sprinkled it on the spaghetti. Mom and Dad noticed that the cheese was moving. The can was full of maggots. Mom screamed, "Aaaah! The spaghetti is alive!" They threw out all the spaghetti. They went out for steak dinner instead of eating maggot spaghetti. Katlyn

Early one morning when Dad walked along a trail through the woods in a small Northern Ontario community, he spotted the hoof of a moose mixed with other parts of its carcass. Curious, he proceeded towards the carcass. As Dad studied the remains he observed a slight movement through a hole in the dried leathery surface of moose hide. Dad picked up a gnarly old twig and used it to raise the hide so he could investigate further. To his repulsion, he discovered a clump of maggots worming their way across the decaying tissue that remained attached to the parts of moose carcass. It was Dad's conclusion that the moose remains were deposited by hunters and that most of the carcass was carried off by other animals. Nadine

My dad's family went camping at Kootenay Lake. They bought a bag of maggots to use for fishing. They put them in the fridge. My grandma had made a salad and had put it in the fridge also. The maggots wiggled out of a hole in the bag and dropped into the salad. As they dished up the salad, they found the maggots. Scott

When my Dad was a kid he was going to school. He saw a black thing under the garbage. He picked it up. It was a dead cat. It was full of maggots. Mahala

A sheep died by Madonna's lighthouse and home. Her mean friend pushed her in the hole where the sheep died. She got covered in maggots. She cried all the way home. It took a long time to get the maggots out of her hair. Jennifer

When my dad was a little boy he was eating cereal for his morning breakfast. The cereal he was eating was Rice Crispies. All of a sudden the cereal started to wiggle. He felt curious and afraid and didn't know what to do. He called his mother. His mother flushed it down the toilet. My father did not like that kind of cereal anymore. This is a gross story. Tony
