SHIT lolol only one species of botfly attacks humans and while it is indeed vectored by mosquitoes, it only stays in the subcutaneous layer without burrowing anywhere o.o it’s even anchored to the entry point by it’s breathing tube, without which it’d asphyxiate and die which should be what you should be worried about, it dying in your skin and rotting :D

Human Bot Fly larvae

The human botfly is found only in Central and South America, and it lays its eggs on a mosquito (or other biting insect). When the mosquito bites a person, the eggs fall onto the skin and are hatched by the warmth of the body. The larvae burrow into the skin and then travel throughout the body—and can move across the blood-brain barrier, and cause meningitis and death after growing inside the brain, eating and destroying it.

We thought this was cool.
