A woman recently woke up in the middle of the night with a pain on the inside of her ear. While still half asleep, she starts holding onto her ear and begins to wonder what would cause this much pain. About this time, she started to hear a buzzing sound in her ear and could feel something moving around inside. That is when she realized that she had a bug in her ear.
The woman then hurried to her bathroom and reached into a drawer to get a cotton ear swab. After trying to poke at the bug with the swab, she realized that she had only made things worse by pushing it further into her ear. That is when she decided it was time to go to a hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she told them that she had a bug crawling and scratching around inside her ear. The medical staff looked at her ear and then starting spraying a chemical inside to try and calm the bug down. She was given an anesthetic to numb the area around her ear.
The doctor’s staff all cringed when they saw the doctor put a long pair of tweezers into her ear and pull out a live cockroach. Grotesque as it may be, the cockroach was still wriggling around and covered with ear wax, when he set it on the table.
They believe that food left by the woman’s bed may have contributed to the cockroach being attracted to the woman’s ear.
This woman said in a statement, “People should never attempt to carry out their own ear pest control and should avoid keeping snacks on their bedside table.”
That sounds like good advice. We’d also like to suggest that if you do have cockroaches in your home, you should call us at (949) 631-7348 and have them eliminated before you “get an earful”.
