AnonymousMight have just been a glitch But removing all my armour seemed to rid the maggots for me

Had a disconnect back to the menu while playing just now, and when I restarted and got loaded back in, the maggots were gone after having been hit by one of these. So going back to main menu and reloading seems to have the same effect as sitting at a bonfire in terms of clearing them off you, while also not resetting the area.

If they spew their maggots on you, use a torch to get them off

If the maggots get you just take out the torch they'll go away, if you don't have one then you can wait it out you'll just have to suffer two blood losses.

Basically you're dead unless you have the red blood moss to cure you of your maggots.The worms will keep feeding on you until you die, if you get hit by them. Just kill your self.

Think of this whenever you are giving birth. Will help guaranteed.

Swing a 189 AR Dark Sword at these things net me 65 damage a hit, yet swinging a 205 AR Lucerne at them immediately after only nets 59 (including the sweetspot). This leads me to believe that eitherA: They are weak against Standard-type damage, orB: They are particularly resilient against Thrust-type damage.
