Bot flies cannot lay eggs in humans; they typically target mammals like cattle or horses. However, in rare cases, certain species of bot flies, particularly the human bot fly (Dermatobia hominis), can cause myiasis in humans. This occurs when the fly's eggs are transferred to a human host, usually through a mosquito bite. The larvae then develop within the skin, leading to discomfort and requiring medical treatment for removal.
