Jan 24, 2010 - Apparently,this guy has never had any experience about how to properly remove bot fly larvae. Go to Belize or Costa Rica and get get bitten by one Capt. and I bet you ain't going to do nothing of the shit you are talking in this video.

Jan 28, 2010 - "Expertvillage" Paying dickheads to give unfounded un proven and totally false "Expert Advice" on things they have no knowledge of... It'd be funny if there weren't 15 yr old little twerps with a basic knowledge on Climbing (for example) talking about placing anchors and gear for abseils.One of these days someone will follow the advice of retard village and get themselves seriously injured or worse.The Expertvillage account should be fucking suspended

May 12, 2010 - i guess firemen have come along way from telling you to stop drop and roll and to change your smoke detector batteries. maybe he will do one on removing breast implants
necrolet Says:
May 14, 2010 - Ummmm, no. You do NOT want to attempt to pull out a botfly "in one swift motion" as if you BREAK the larva and pieces get left behind, you're likely to get a serious infection. Cover the hole with a LOT of petroleum jelly and tape for about 24 hours, and then GENTLY pull out the exposed larva with tweezers.

Aug 9, 2010 - Besides what else has been mentioned, bot flys do not bite, they ,ay their eggs on a mosquito that transfers its eggs to your skin when the mosquito bites you.

Oct 20, 2010 - I've heard that's the safest and most effective, if not the most pleasant, way to get a bot-fly maggot out of you. I think they have forward-curved spines though, don't they? I can imagine pulling one out must hurt like hell either way, especially if it's a big one.
necrolet Says:
Oct 20, 2010 - Yeah, probably. But the point of covering the whole is to make an airtight seal, so the maggot dies. That way, the spines won't grip and resist when you're pulling it out.
TTarOtaku Says:
Oct 20, 2010 - I always though it was just to make them come out of the hole enough to be grabbed with tweezers, not to smother them XD.Would it sound really gross and crazy if I said I would leave a bot-fly as long as it wasn't uncomfortable or a risk for infection? Yeah I'm strange I know lol.
necrolet Says:
Oct 20, 2010 - I know a few people who would probably do that, too. Thing it, depending on where it is, it IS incredibly likely to get infected, and is usually noticable. But if you leave it alone, it'll leave on its own when it's pretty much fully grown.

Feb 11, 2011 - BITE from a botfly?? They don't usually BITE you. They lay their eggs on mosquitos, and then when the mosquito lands on you to sting you the eggs/larvae fall off and burrow into your skin. Plus, I've never seen a botfly SWIFTLY removed. It usually involves quite a bit of gentle tugging and pulling. I wouldn't try most of this guys advice.
Valkyrie081 Says:
Apr 15, 2011 - OMG...I can't believe someone has actually put this on here as a 'how to'...anyone who has any idea about bot fly's know that you don't get bitten by them, they're carried by mosquito's and then when you're bitten by one your body heat causes the larvae to hatch....and removal?? seriously, easiest and quickest is to smother it, apply petroleum jelly and cover the area, it'll burrow it's way up to try and get air, then pull it out gently. Don't take this guys advice, you'll cause more issues.
