I wanna say something witty, but every time I try to form a funny sentence, this phrase "Holy Fucking Shit!" keeps butting in to the front of the line and scattering my carefully chosen words everHoly Fucking shit!ywhere

Also, the tag might be more useful if it were "worse than botflies".

No, because that tag is straight up wrong, botflies are much worse than this.

You see, botflies are covered in barbs to prevent this kind of surgery, and when you try to squeeze one out it responds by burrowing in deeper. Trying to force them usually ends in you ripping the fly in half or killing them. This leaves chunks of dead botfly in the skin to rot and typically results in a dangerous infection.

The traditional cure for botflies (wrapping the wound up in steak overnight so the botfly crawls out into the meat in search of air) doesn't work on dogs either, as anyone who has ever tried taping raw beef on to their dog can attest.

Meerkat
Botflies also form a hard shell inside the flesh so that you can't squeeze them out. If you rupture them the toxins in their bodies will provoke anaphylactic shock, killing the host.

The only way to remove them is to cut them out, one by one.

Or just use a venom extractor syringe, which completely removes the maggot quickly and painlessly (and without a gross youtube video).

Oh fuck me.


At least it appears they are removed relatively easily.

Actually, I remember some vague reference to what must be these flies. Apparently they will sometimes lay their eggs on clothing left out to dry on the line.
