Human botfly large maggots treatment with bacon on Arnold NewmanÕs rump, Costa Rica Dermatobia hominis Life history of human botfly is insidious. Large botfly, which scares most mammals, birds and humans capture mosquitoes and some small flies in midair and deposit their eggs on their belly. These innocuous insects then can surreptitiously land on warm-blooded animals, including humans, and at 98¼ temperature, the eggs immediately hatch and small maggots quickly beneath skin and grow into very huge maggots which eat the hostÕs flesh, causing great pain with each bite it takes. The feces of the maggot causes severe infection. The maggot has spines on its body which cause intense pain when it moves inside NewmanÕs flesh. But for intervention before the maggot fully matures, bacon or strips of meat are attached over the hole in the hostÕs flesh, within some 8 hours the meat is ripped off and the maggot has partially come out of its flesh hole to be grasped and gently pulled from the rest of the wound. If the maggot is ruptured during this delicate process, the patient can die of anaphylactic shock or massive infection. Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
