#1 Bot Flies

The larvae are transmitted by mosquitoes and live in your skin until they reach the adult stage. They feed on your flesh and can make you susceptible to deadly infection. These gross creatures are not something you want in your life.

#2 Deer Tick

Deer tick bites look like a bulls-eye and within a month most people will exhibit the symptoms of lyme disease. The numerous deaths from lyme disease are usually attributed to the common deer tick. The insect attaches itself to the skin and sucks the blood from the victim while spreading whatever diseases it may have from the blood of the previous victim. It is a known vector for numerous deadly diseases in the U.S.

#3 Giant Asian Hornet

This hornet can reach up to 3 inches long. In its sting is a chemical called acetylchlorine that is specific to causing pain. It also emits an enzyme that dissolves tissue. Along with the deadly chemicals in the venom is another that actually attracts more hornets so they will swarm to you and you will eventually wish you weren't alive until-well-you die.

#4 Kissing Bug

The kissing bug is one of the only hemiptera, or true bugs that suck blood. By doing this they up the risk of transmitting a disease called Chagas. One of the symptoms of chagas is malformation of the intestines and chronic heart failure. Not a very pleasant death.

#4 Fire Ants

A few bites may be nothing to worry about but occasionally the ants will swarm and this means big trouble. When the ants swarm and bite multiple time you can go into shock and eventually die a very painful death.
