You’re finally lying in bed. Quiet. Peaceful.
Then—BZZZZZ—a fly starts circling your face.
But why? Why you? And why at night?
The answer is more disturbing than you’d think. 😳
👃 You Smell Delicious
To flies, your sweat, breath, and skin bacteria release a chemical cocktail that screams “fresh buffet.”
At night, when the world is still, these smells intensify:
- 🫁 CO₂ from your breathing
- 💦 Sweat pooling on your skin
- 🧬 Natural body oils and dead skin cells
You’re basically a walking fly magnet—especially while sleeping.
🌡️ Warmth = Life
Flies are drawn to body heat. Your head, mouth, and ears are prime targets, especially if the room is cooler than your body.
Some species are thermotropic, meaning they seek out heat sources in the dark.
That’s why they hover over your face—and occasionally land on your lips. 🤮
🤐 The Mouth-Fly Connection
That nasty buzzing near your face?
They’re actually checking your mouth—for moisture, food residue, and warmth.
Yup. You might’ve had a fly licking your lips while you slept.
😵 The Fly Egg Horror
While rare, there are confirmed cases of flies laying eggs in people’s noses and ears while they sleep.
It’s called myiasis, and it’s as disgusting as it sounds.
Some larvae even burrow into the skin.
“I thought it was a pimple,” said one man.
“But it moved.”
🚫 How to Stop the Night-Time Fly Attack
Here’s how to defend yourself tonight:
- 🧼 Wash your face before bed
- 🪟 Keep windows screened
- 🕯️ Use citronella or eucalyptus near the bed
- 🦟 Consider a mosquito net, even for flies
Also, avoid sleeping with food or drinks near you. Flies are opportunists—and they love crumbs.
😬 Final Warning: The Next Time You Hear That Buzz… It Might Be Too Late
That fly buzzing near your ear?
It’s not lost.
It’s hunting.
And its next landing pad could be your eyeball.
