After the horsefly larvae enter the skin and eat the subcutaneous tissue of the human body, the victim's body will form ulcer-like swelling. When it grows to the size of an almond (about three-quarters of an adult's little finger), it begins to climb out, climb out of the skin surface, fall to the ground, pupate, become a horse fly, and then start looking for its next target.

Adults are bigger than ordinary flies, with big heads and fine hairs on their bodies, like bees. Mouth degenerates, does not eat food, and mainly lives on the blood of mammals. Living in the wild. Eggs are laid on the hair of horses, donkeys, mules, etc. The hatched larvae are brought into the body when the animals lick their hair and parasitize in the stomach.

Harm of horsefly

Horseback fly larvae are parasitic in human body, which is very different from other animals. First of all, the individual of horse flies is relatively large, so it is not realistic to lay eggs directly in the human body. In order to parasitize the human body, horseflies usually choose mosquitoes as the medium to spread their eggs.

According to experts' research, horseflies hide their eggs in the stomachs of female mosquitoes. When mosquitoes feed on horseflies' eggs, they put them on the skin of people who bite them. After hatching, they bite people's skin and enter the subcutaneous tissue of human bodies, starting the parasitic life of larvae.

Before taking out the fly maggots, apply vaseline to the wound to isolate the air and let them "suffocate". After 24 hours, remove the vaseline and clip it out with pliers. Of course, it can also be pulled out while alive, but then they will keep crawling and the patient may feel more pain.
