This is a condition where fly larvae infest and consume living tissue. While rare, it typically affects individuals with poor hygiene, particularly in the mouth.

Allergic Reactions: Some people may experience allergic reactions after ingesting larvae. These can manifest as respiratory problems, asthma-like symptoms, or skin irritation like contact dermatitis.

Eat fruit before it becomes overripe.
Always examine fruit carefully before eating.
Wash produce thoroughly to eliminate both visible and invisible contaminants.
