The larvae develop inside the subcutaneous layers of human skin, which I googled and literally means “under the skin”. So just never go to any of those places, ever – I don’t care if they’re PRETTY and full of CULTURE. Botflies are native to the Americas from Southeastern Mexico to northern Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. It’s not the fly that lays eggs in you though, which is fucking terrifying – they use mosquitos as egg hosts basically, so then if you get bitten by a mosquito with botfly eggs on it, those eggs can get into the bite. Here’s what the human botfly (the only one that uses humans to host it’s eggs, foulfoulfoulfoul) looks like: Obviously I went on this intense Google to learn about botflies so this can never, ever, EVER happen to me. I’d rather just burn my entire scalp off. Absolutely not, I’d rather just have my head cut off tbh. This video literally has a warning because it’s so fucked up. It’s like watching pimple popping videos except on crack because they’re tweezing out living larvae from someone’s flesh. That would have been cool, but this is even BETTER. Like a living, flying insect monster was going to wriggle out. Here’s something I’m personally really enjoying, and yet in a very real way has ruined my life – botfly larvae removal videos.Īt first, I thought they were going to remove a proper FLY from this woman’s arm. Immediately streamed that horror movie where someone carves their hand off, even though you know you’ll never get the image out of your head? You sick fuck. Got intense tryptophobia? I bet you sometimes sadistically google those awful lotus pod images.
