I may be a total creep but I listened to this story on Radiolab about botflies and whowza! They kind of rule in a disgusting, popping a pimple way!
They are parasites that feed off mammals and occasionally deposit larvae in humans. Once the larvae is deposited they dwell under the skin and feed off your FLESH! ZOMBIE FLIES! The guy on Radiolab said his grew to be the size of an EGG! The only way to kill them is to block their air supply which is a tiny follicle that sticks out of your skin. Rumor has it you can tie a steak to the spot and the botfly will suffocate and burrow it's way out through the steak thinking it is your flesh. RADICAL BADICAL!
