LLM warning for those who are triggerable.

Broad Definition of "Wound": The fly doesn't need a major injury. It can lay eggs in something as tiny as a tick bite, a mosquito bite, a small scratch, or a shaving cut.

Natural Openings: The fly will lay eggs in or near the nose, mouth, eyes, ears, and genitals. In these cases, no "wound" is necessary; the larvae hatch and burrow directly into the moist tissue of the orifice.

Kind and of scary, just wake up one day and feel something nomming away inside your eyelid.
