    Was sitting in my kitchen and I feel a small kind of sting on my arm and I look down and there was some sort of a fcuking fly there. Got it off but what the fcuking fcuk was that? Flies don't sting. It wasnt a bee or a wasp either.

    That's what they do when they're laying their eggs.

    Have a read about the 'human botfly'.

    Fully grown flies are known to have broken through the person's skin not long after the eggs are laid.

    Looks like someone is going to be a mummy/daddy :)

    Yep this is correct.

    Ilovesleep: On the plus side, it's nothing to worry about really. They'll leave your skin after a while which shouldn't hurt more than say bursting a spot and you'll get used to them crawling around in there in the mean time. They're not known to have any lasting consequences so it's not the end of the world.

    If it stings rub baking soda on it. If its a dull pain rub vinegar on it.

    Thank you

    It was only a very slight pinch. Nothing big. Pain gone now. It was itchy for a bit too.
