Removing a Botfly

The human botfly is a creepy and disgusting insect.   Native to Mexico and Central America, they lay their young in the bodies of living people.  The larvae grow fat off the tissue and will eventually emerge from the skin as a fully developed fly if left unchecked.

People tend to notice a writhing maggot underneath their skin, however, so they often don’t make it that long.
