Answer:

World War 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Maggot therapy was first introduced to modern medicine by William Baer, a US surgeon who witnessed in WW1 the beneficial properties of fly maggots when treating fallen soldiers who were accidentally colonized. In modern medicine, lab grown and disinfected live fly larvae are used to remove dead tissue, control infection, and promote wound healing.
