How do you protect yourself from botflies?

To protect yourself from botflies, avoid areas where they are prevalent, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Wear long sleeves, long pants, and use insect repellent containing DEET to deter them. Additionally, stay away from places where animals are present, as botflies often use them as hosts. If you suspect exposure, regularly check your skin for unusual lumps or bites and seek medical attention if necessary.
