I've been taught that this is true, though I seem unable to find any web-based evidence to back this up at the moment.
On the up-side, the "juices" themselves are actually likely to be VERY anit-microbial (therefore not disease-carrying). The same can't be said for their feet though. ;)
I never thought there would have been an up-side to fly vomit, but there it is. Thanks.

I shouldn't ask this, because I don't really want to know, but what's with flies and bubbles of goo hanging off their mouths? Is it really digestive juice that's meant to be splattered on my face? I have no doubt that he's menacing me.
