Ticks and botflies. We don't need maggots making a home in our skin. Even worse is what they do to animals like sheep.

Mosquitos are mainly an annoyance to me and I can deal with them.

Maggots are the things that breakdown dead stuff, without them you'd have dead animals and plants rotting on the ground for ages while the bacteria breaks them down slowly. I think the whole world would smell worse.

These are maggots that get laid in your skin specifically. Look up "bot flies"

Fungi do most of the rotting anyway.

You can deal with them?? That would be FANTASTIC. I will pay you.
