Why remove house flies? A horror story
Once an aunt of my friend had a small cut on the tiny finger of her left leg. Just a small cut, nothing to worry about.
But a lingering pain was there and the pain was not fading but rather it was going strong.
And the small wound was turning into a swollen wound with fluid coming out.
She was rushed to the hospital and later it was found that there was larva of a house fly in that wound.
And that was successfully operated.
But unfortunately she left us that night due to some other physical illness. She was above 60 years of age at that time.
This is why you should let any flies sit on your open wounds, no matter how small the wound is.
Also since those flies carry several germs and bacterias, keep them away from your food items too.
Either keep the food items in the fridge or covered with another dish.
