"Laurence Harvey played the British civil servant Macy, a prickly man in the boring and wet jungle of Borneo trapped in a home with two other Brits, the married couple of Mr. (Tom Helmore) and Mrs. Warwick (Joanna Pettet), who have about 40 years of age between the two of them."

"Being bored and rather arrogant and full of himself Macy sets his eyes on the beauty that is Mrs. Warwick. He uses the wiles of the mischievous criminal Tommy Robinson (Don Knight) to help get her. Robinson knows of a local earwig which will drive a man insane and eventually to death while feasting on his brain if it wanders in his ear canal because it will be unable to work its way back out. Macy pays Robinson to have someone insert one of the earwigs into Mr. Warwick’s ear while he sleeps ....."

I was a kid when that episode of Night Gallery aired. Freaked me out for a few years.

If I recall this episode correctly, Mr. Warwick against all odds survived the earwig as it ate its way through the brain and came out the other ear. But there is a very horrifying plot twist at the end.

Interesting how the mention of RFK Jr’s brain problems brought back quick memories of this old show.
