They say that these larvae contain some useful amino acids that have a beneficial effect on immunity. In fact, everything is different there.
Wax moth larvae crawl in bee hives and feed on wax, bee bread and all kinds of beekeeping products. Our people love bee products, so they attribute various interesting properties to the extract from the wax moth larvae. This is more of nonsense, but not interesting.
Interestingly, wax moth larvae turned out to be unique objects for the study of viruses.
Everyone knows that scientists use rabbits, mice and other laboratory animals in their experiments. Sometimes this beast is somewhat similar to us, and sometimes the similarity is very distant.
So the larvae of the wax moth react to some viruses in the same way as our native immunity. The immune cells of these caterpillars consume the virus. This process cannot be simulated in a test tube.
It turns out that the mole has become an ideal model for studying human viruses. Better than any laboratory mice. In addition, the moth is a pest of agriculture, and it is not particularly pity for it.
And then a pandemic hit. People remembered about all the viruses in the world and at the same time about the wax moth larvae. Immediately, the thought arose that if a moth crawls in honey and bee bread, and even with some viruses there, then it should come up. It turns out that by the combination of viruses and beekeeping products, the wax moth was ranked among useful products. But in this regard it does not bring any benefit at all. A pest - he is a pest.
I advise you not to experiment with such things, but rather ask the doctor again.
Have you come across these products?
