Freaks me out!!!!

OK, you know what really freaks me out beyond belief?  Bot flies.  Ohmygosh just thinking about these nasty little maggots makes me want to throw up.  I kinda never want to step outside of my house ever again just in case one gets me...*shudder* Well, they're not really in the U.S but like the most southern part of the states...so, I guess as long as I don't go to the very bottom of Florida I'll be ok?  I used to want to travel the world and now I have a list of places I will NEVER go.
