According to Wikipedia, the Dermatobia Hominis, aka Human bot fly, is the only species of bot fly that attacks humans. As the female Dermatobia feeds, the eggs can hatch. The larvae use the mosquito bite area as the entry point. They develop inside the subcutaneous layers, and after approximately 8 weeks they drop out to pupate for at least a week, typically in the soil. In this video, Mark has his friends remove the larvae after suffocating them overnight with duct tape. Thank goodness for duct tape. By the way, if you have a weak stomach or are about to eat…don’t watch this.

I don’t know why you gotta do it. That’s nasty Wyatt! Let’s refrain from the body maggots next time and get back to the good old days of test drives and b.s. Thank you. Drive through.
