We have fallen far when a roach-killer is referred to as a hero. That said, it is a very unsettling situation. I worked ER in my residency. Had a guy come with a small june bug (a type of beetle) in the external canal. He was a large man. He was just like this lady. It’s movements exaggerated the sound by being right on top of the ear drum We ended up at first pulling part of the insect out of the canal. The animal still lived and struggled all the more. If you have ever picked up a June bug they are very strong. So we put 10 mls. of lidocaine in the canal then flooded it with peroxide. The perodxide bubbled brought the insect out where we could finally see it and get a purchase on it and snagged the rascal. He was grateful, to say the least.
The june bug was grateful?
Was it named Jerry?
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?
June Bugs! They are like Kevlar-plated armored tanks, LOL!
My grandmother got a moth in ear, she said it was pretty excruciating, like galloping horses right on your ear drum.
