There are some places actually using this today, and it still works, sterilized or not.  Not certain about the yougurt treatment, though.

When I worked at the University of Iowa we had leaches flown in from a lab in New York to use on a man that had a finger reimplanted and had distal pooling of the blood so they used leaches to bleed the finger until some collateral circulation could be established..It worked!

Don't laugh!  I heard on the news the other day that they are bringing back the use of "sterilized maggots" for treatment of necrotic tissue!  ICK!!!  Hate to be the treatment nurse that day!!

Sugar and an oxygen mask over the wound
Also maggots for necrotic tissue.

Did I get the prize for the oldest treatment?
