Answer 1

I just want you to know your not alone. Hubby got bit by one of these vicious flys and it was swollen and sore for 2 days. I used a spray for them, and wiped them out for now, but according to him, it was awful enough he thought it may have been a wasp or something else, but when he was bit again and he saw it, he knew.

Answer 2

this is no joke! if its a Bot-fly you need to go to the doctor and get a exterminator like NOW!

search Bot Fly on google images and see if that is what has been biting you.

when a bot fly bites you it lays a egg in your skin and it grows into a maggot and will either die under your skin and become infectious, or it will live and grow under your skin till its ready to become a fly and then it eats its way out of you leaving its waste in its little home under your skin only toget infected.

GO TO A DOCTOR NOW DUDE!

I get bites from these flies too, today is the first time... sorry I couldn't help on identifying the fly, but if it helps the bites swell down after a little bit.
