emergency due to flesh eating botfly

lots of sightings of bottflies in texas (its originally a mexican species)

lots of botflies seen in texas
altough the adult fly does nothing, its larvae are killers

the adult female flies nearby humans, tries to locate a wound on human skin (it cannot create a wound herself, these flies do not have biting mouthparts, only a rudimentary sucker used to drink nectar from flowers)

if she finds a wound she quickly deposits a few fly eggs in the wound

eggs hatch within 24 hours when in contact with +37 degree tissue warmth that is found in human body (dead bodies are at the room temperature and are of no interest to this fly who eats live food only)

maggots come out from the eggs and bury themselves immediately a few centimeters deep under the skin and then they start to eat live flesh

after one week of eating, a fully grown maggot crawls out from the wound (or usually several maggots) when you are sleeping and the find a hideout and turn into a fly cocoon where a fly emerges after 7 day metamorphosis

the eating process is bad, a maggot eats several grams of your muscle tissue, depending on the location where eaters are, it may turn lethal (hands and legs arent a lethal zone)

just don't get wounded, simple as

Yay!!!
