Umm, yes you do... The fly bites you and lays eggs under the skin
And there's something called a Sand Fly that if it bites you can pass on harful bacteria and can result in your skin decaying

Aside from feeding on carrion there are a number of flies which
have taken to feeding on living flesh. Some of these are related
to the common Green Bottle i.e. Lucilia sericata and Lucilia
cuprina which lay their eggs in the damp ammoniated wool around
the sheep's anus and the larva which start off eating the faeces
soon take to eating the sheep's flesh, between them these two
flies are a serious pest of sheep from Scotland to Australia.
These and others like them which attack a wide variety of animals
particularly in the tropics are known as Bots or Bot-Flies. Even
more painful are the Warbles or Warble-Flies whose larva burrow
beneath the skin, leaving only their anal spiracles exposed to
the air such as Dermatobia hominis the human bot-fly of South
Africa whose females lay their eggs on the a mosquito or some
other sort of biting (piercing) fly which carries the egg to its
human host. In tropical countries most animals are attacked by
some warble or another, even elephants and rhinos have their
hides pitted with the pock marks left behind by the larva as they
burrow out of the skin before falling to the ground to pupate.
Adult Warble-flies are large and hairy and often look like
Bumblebees.
