Anyone ever had an insect living in their ear?

[Anonymous]

I have had an tickling feeling in my ear. I'm sure it's nothing but it's driving me mad. Then I saw this video and I'm paranoid, although I doubt there is anything, let alone that big!

Well, if you went to your doctor or to the ER ( Hospital) they would
arrogate your ear if they can't it out , if they do that to your ear the
doctor usually does it he squirts water into your ear. I had wax build up
had my ear arrogated and after he was done the room spins for 10 minutes
you have increase in anxiety , your heart goes fast but that's the only
effect that happens from getting that done. But my ear felt better after the
wax build up got out of there

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Thank you for most helpful opinion :) I hope you feel better :) XD

Look for the news article about the woman with the leech inside if her nose...

[Asker]

Lol yeah I saw that... she saw it a few times before comming out when she showered and thought it must be a blood clot from an injury she had! Whaatt? If I saw something like that in the corner of my eye I would have looked a lot sooner! hahaha

[CuriousEddie]

I read somewhere that she finally figured it out what it was when she wiped the mirror after getting out of the shower and saw it had scales or ridges.

You'd think a 3" living creature moving around in your nose wouldn't need visual confirmation to be alarmed.

[Asker]

Curiosity of the blood clot got the better of her! Yeah that's right she saw the ridges so she went to the hospital. Oh yeah, and it would come down as far as her mouth when in the shower then go up again after she got out and dry lol! Yeah you would think, fancy having that in their and not feeling it move!

[EyeSeaYew]

A relative of mine had taken on a nap in her house and woke up with a bug in her ear (I can't remember what kind, I think it was a roach but not 100% sure). She knew there was something in there because it was making noises. She went to the hospital and got it pulled out.

All I can say to that is EW.

It happened to me before, I fell asleep and then woke up with worst pain ever, I just started screaming (I was ten at the time) long story short, when I put my head to the side the bug fell out.

[Asker]

Wow, contemplating going to sleep with ear plugs in!

[been_waiting]

This happened to a friend of mine but I think that if you had a bug in your ear, you'd know for sure. Eventually it will either die or furrow its way out so you should be good.

[been_waiting]

just fyi -it is impossible for it to go into your brain

[Asker]

Yeah I guess you would know. Well that's releiveing it won't start burrowing into my brain if there is something!

[been_waiting]

haha yeah :) I saw Untold Stories of the ER when a girl was freaking out because she thought a beetle was burrowing into her brain. Good thing that can't happen!

[Anonymous]

I don't wanna even check the link and know about it.

[Asker]

I bet your ears with tickle after. I don't know how that thing even fit in his ear. Watch it!

[Opinion Owner]

NO. I have insects phobia. I hope you get well.

[Asker]

lol ok. Thanks :)

[Anonymous]

A woman went to the doctors due to an ear pain only to find maggots eating her brain. Just saying

[Asker]

Yeah wasn't she in peru or something a fly flew in her ear for litterally a second and layed eggs! That was nasty! Yeah I got no pain, and it's not itching all the time. Like I said if I hadn't seen the video of that guy then I probably wouldn't be worried about the tickle!

[Opinion Owner]

Lol Matthew santoro?

[KhrushBrownies]

It happens but the chances of that happening is small.

[coolmen]

go to the doctor you master these things, you are growing too

[miz36]

just go to an ENT specialist...

[Asker]

I really don't think it's that serious is it?

[miz36]

if its itching and driving you crazy than u should consult a doctor

[Asker]

Hmm ok if it doesn't go away in a couple weeks I'll go see the doc, I usually leave things at least couple weeks if I am still walking ok and breathing.

[miz36]

couple of days are okay but dont leave it for weeks...

[COCOCHANEL]

no. never.

[TheEnding]

WTF MAN!!!

[Asker]

lol did you watch the video?

[TheEnding]

Nooo I'm scared :(

[Asker]

Waaattcchhh it! It's mad! No wonder his ear was itchy.

[TheEnding]

OKAY I'm done! Saw the first 10 seconds. No more lol.

[Asker]

Lol !! The bug was massive. See it's antenae sticking out? Mental!

[Asker]

I just watched it again, I forgot when they get it out the bug freaks out trying to get back in it's nice cosy dark earhole again!

[TheEnding]

Bugs really gross me out. I would fucking die if that happened to me.

[Asker]

Lol !! No you would be alive with a bug in your ear. The size of it though, you would even hear that thing. I can only guess it hadn't been there long before the man realised.

[Anonymous]

It's probably just a harmless spider or earwig

[Klaatu51]
