Fly's don't physically bite, they, as you mentioned inject a chemical that basically breaks down cells, they then suck up the created fluid and digest it.
So the bite you feel is the fly grabbing hold of your skin and injecting you with an enzyme to break down the cells and turn them into a goop they can suck up.....bad bad baaaad thought.
