The African tsetse fly is known for transmitting sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis) to humans, making it a significant health risk in certain regions of Africa. While the bite itself may not be dangerous, the disease it carries can be severe and potentially fatal if untreated. Preventive measures and treatments are available, but it is essential to avoid areas infested with tsetse flies and to seek medical attention if bitten. Therefore, the tsetse fly is not considered safe for humans.
