I Went to the ER with a Live Roach in My Ear and It Was as Horrifying as You Think

Pour alcohol into the ear

And if you pull all of the legs off, you should realize that it cannot walk out on its own

And it may release it’s egg sack in there

When I was a kid my father walked under a porch light late one night and large candle fly flew directly into his right ear. Dad was having a fit as it scratched on his eardrum. Called our family Dr. at home and he said spray a little bug spray in the ear and meet him at his office. The insect died a horrible death and it was painful to my dad. Dr. could not believe how large the insect was as he pulled it out.

Worth reading the whole thing. The doc at the ER left most of the **** thing in her ear and sent her home none the wiser...

I was walking along our yard one day when a tiny little beetle flew right in my eye. I immediately knew it was a beetle and not a gnat because I could feel it walking around on my eyball under my eye lid. Never had anything like it happen before or since. Gnats are too weak to do that, beetles have this awesome strength and really tough clingy claws. I was alone at home at the time.

The q-tip method didn’t work, it just clung to my eye. Eye drops didn’t do it, nor holding my eye open under fast flowing water. I had to literally pluck the thing off the surface of my eye, which it would cling to everytime I tried to get it with fingers or tweezers, without putting my eye out. You don’t have much depth perception with this problem.

Just awful, but I can look back at it now and think it was pretty funny. I would love to have a recording of myself trying to get that little SOB off of my eyeball. I didn’t get any scratches on my cornea, which I was thinking I would have with the way it felt.

Thanks. I really, REALLY didn’t need to read that!!!

Yet ANOTHER reason this Yankee will NEVER live below the Mason-Dixon Line!

Good Lord! I’ll take tornadoes, blizzards, Black Bear, floods, drought, bee & wasp stings, mosquito bites, ticks, and random RABID Democrats...but at least the insects up here don’t crawl into your orifices while you sleep!

*SHUDDER*

Never, I mean never shoot palmetto bugs with a loaded gun.

Shooting them with an unloaded gun isn't very effective either.

A nuclear strike will leave to much collateral damage. Also should the entire world be destroyed by global warming, nuclear holocost, aides, Nancy Pelosi, and the Yellowstone caldera. The only things left will be lilacs, lawyers, and cockroaches. Do they make bug light earrings?

Since you cockroach parts out of your ear before going to the hospital, shouldn’t the title be “I Went to the ER with a DEAD Roach in My Ear...”?

My grandmother got a moth in ear, she said it was pretty excruciating, like galloping horses right on your ear drum.

Put mineral oil or baby oil in your ear to suffocate it -- then have medical pros remove it.

...IF it ever happens again...

BTW, you just gave a clue that you're from and/or in SC... '-)

Unpleasant for sure.I worked in a big city ER for years and we saw this pretty regularly.Typically it isn’t difficult for an ENT specialist to deal with...but patients typically don’t enjoy the experience.
