Human Bot Fly
The Human Bot Fly is a parasitic insect known for its unique life cycle. The adult fly lays its eggs on the skin of a host, often using an intermediate host like a mosquito to transfer the eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae burrow into the skin, causing painful lesions.
These larvae can grow inside the host for several weeks before emerging to pupate. While the Human Bot Fly is primarily found in tropical regions of the Americas, its presence can lead to infections and discomfort. Treatment typically involves the careful removal of the larvae by a medical professional.
