How long since the maggots have eaten?

I suspect it doesn't matter much since maggots usually don't have mouthparts robust enough to bite through undamaged human skin. Not that it makes the choice much easier.

Cell duplication won't change the size of my bones, since bones are mostly composed of extracellular matrix material.

My brain just increased its size by a factor of 1.5 inside that same-sized skull, though.

I imagine the effect would be rather gruesomely explosive. Good thing it'll be painless, since all those extra brain cells probably instantly disrupt any conscious mental functioning.
