There was a rumor all my growing up life that if you cut yourself on
coral, in the ocean, that coral would grow inside your skin, so we
were always very careful to really rinse that coral cut. Well of
course it was not true and was only made barely plausible to
youngsters because coral cuts got very infected so the site would
swell and fester. Coral is made up of many little tiny animals and
they cause nasty infections.

I doubt that anything, except for human cells, can grow in a human.

Maggots can. Well, I don't know if IN is the right word. They can grow on
and I suppose to some extent burrow under infected moist dying skin. I've
not seen it first hand on a human but I have seen them on a dog. Nasty.

Yes, I think that can happen too but they are living on the surface
where they can get air.

There are many critters that can live inside the human body - aside from the
obvious bacteria. Lots of intestinal and other parasites, for example.
Trichinella (causes trichinosis) is another.

Yo are correct of course. I was thinking of roach eggs in tongue.
Coral through a cut. Parasites and bacteria and viruses etc. of
course can move into a body. Fly eggs do not live in the body.

Well,dirty wounds can easily harbor fly larvae. It
isn't that uncommon at all. For some patients,
maggots in their wounds are gross, yet they
probably performed their job and kept the necrotic
tissue cleaned up too.
