There is a very good chance that, if I do nothing, I will give birth to a baby bot fly in 4-8 weeks. By giving birth I mean that a nasty, sharp larvae will eat its way through my skin and emerge, "Alien" style, from my upper arm. I've been pretty convinced that the itchy, hard bite is a bot fly larvae and, after getting everyone at the school's opinion on the matter (small town, not a lot going on :), I've decided that it is indeed time to go to the clinic and get a real doctor's opinion on the matter. If it is a bot fly larvae, they'll extract it with a syringe. Which is more appealing than the old school method of coaxing it out with a piece of bacon.... I'll keep you posted :)
