Maggots

[Amaranthus]

This is probably the wrong place to ask. but I only visit 2 forums and the other one is awful, so I'll ask here.
My cat kills a lot of mice. It's pretty hot now, so as a result we have some mouse-corpses filled with maggots.
I've read that sometimes they can be a danger to living animals and humans, and I really don't want my family or my cat to get any as a result of being outside.
Any tips or ideas?

The maggots aren´t harmful (I never heard that they are :-?), but the dead body is!

You should get disposed of them, before your cat accidently eats something of it. A lot of bacteria is on it and the foul meat can make your cat really sick!

Wikipedia has lied to me.

Maggots actually CAN BE harmful. They'll eat anything they can. One person nearly went blind due to 1 eating his eye, and I don't even want to think what it would do to a cat's organs.

Get rid of the bodies, stat! No need to have them just lying around. Ugh.

Rubber Gloves, a big plastic bag and a lot of Germicide.
Get rid of the bodies as soon as you can, put them in a bag (if the smell goes through it you need another layer) and disinfact the place where it was laying.

When my cat killed a bird, I managed to burry it at once before someone noticed ;)

Well, the maggots already left the body. And my cat hasn't tried to eat anything so I guess it's fine.
Will still get rid of it though. But good god it's disgusting.

Are you just collecting dead mice or what? Dispose of the bodies, you nut.
