Abstract
This paper demonstrates that blowfly larval development is slightly impacted by paracetamol if present in the rearing foodstuff particularly during days 2-4 of development. Since paracetamol and similar analgesic drugs are involved in a large number of overdose deaths each year this information is of importance where blowfly growth is used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval.
