Parasites?

Hi, I ate pieces of a steak and later noticed that there were maggots on the steak. It could have been from flies outdoors the day it was cooked. Well I think there is a good chance that I ate one or more live maggots. Just wanted to know if there could be anything that could wrong with my system because of this. Are there any anti-parasite medicine that I can take? I'm feeling more hungry than I usually am. It may be in my mind, but could the parasites already have grown in me?

They usually are destroyed by intestinal juices, however, some may live. Suggest going to your doctor and getting checked to be on the safe side.

They usually test your stool and possibly your blood.

What method would the doctor use to check it? Some sort of X Rays?
