BuddingPsychic1111 Posted March 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) All of a sudden, a literal insect just crawled out of my ear! I have no clue how this was possible, but I can't help but think somehow it was in my head?!?!?! How or if that's possible, I don't know, but I literally felt something crawling like inside of my ear, didn't feel it crawling in. And then I flicked with my finger, and there's a bug? Crawling out of my ear? Where could it possibly have come from? I mean, surely there has to be an explanation other than that it was inside my head. But I just don't know what else to think. This is just too weird Edited March 10, 2019 by BuddingPsychic1111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaginarynumber1 Posted March 10, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It crawled into your ear earlier. I don't see how even you could miss this one. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatetopa Posted March 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It probably laid some literal eggs in there was was ready to leave. Mischief managed. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted March 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The real concern is when they crawl in through one ear, then out through the other. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitat Posted March 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2019 True story, an elderly woman I know, had some kind of insect fly in to one ear, her husband took a look, told her there was nothing there, but she felt it had affected her hearing. She put some drops of medicinal olive oil in, hoping it would help get out whatever might still be there. No result. Many years later, she felt she was needing hearing aids, went to a doctor, who peered into the ear with the instrument, then plucked out the well preserved insect, that had sat there for what she said was decades. Yeah, I found it hard to believe, too, but was definitely a true story, apparently. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think about it though, I don't see how it couldn't have? It could have happened while you were asleep. You do sleep yes? Bugs in your ears could also be a valid explanation as to why you have pretty much been the most bizarre member on UM in recent history. Can you go and get checked out by your local trusted health care professionals please. You might really have an insect infestation in your ear. It does happen. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil gelled after killing the insect and left it stuck to the canal wall. @BuddingPsychic1111 Your problem is actually common for people who live in filthy conditions. Dude you seriously need some help. No kidding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably just clarified and pasteurized. That doesn't give it any more health values. Pasteurizing might actually break down the omega 3 content. and it certainly shouldn't be put in your ears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitat Posted March 10, 2019 #21 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Anyway, it defeats me how anyone could have an insect stuck in their ear for many years, and only find out when going for a hearing aid. The fault was her husband's, she told me. He shone a torch in her ear, and said there was nothing there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually should go to a doctor with ear issues. I've used peroxide or a warm water-alcohol mix on patients in the field ( that isn't even good) and checked for blood. But I always told them tell the doctor to look. You want to know why pharma doesn't always have good ideas? Google Purdue Pharma. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast Posted March 10, 2019 #24 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The explanation is quite simple: it came from the other ear. It passed the void. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatetopa Posted March 10, 2019 #25 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Didn't give yourself the willys reading Wikipedia again did you? The scientific name for the order, "Dermaptera", is Greek in origin, stemming from the words derma, meaning skin, and pteron (plural ptera), wing. It was coined by Charles De Geer in 1773. The common term, earwig, is derived from the Old English ēare, which means "ear", and wicga, which means "insect", or literally, "beetle".[2] Entomologists suggest that the origin of the name is a reference to the appearance of the hindwings, which are unique and distinctive among insects, and resemble a human ear when unfolded.[3][4] The name is more popularly thought to be related to the old wives' tale that earwigs burrowed into the brains of humans through the ear and laid their eggs there.[5]Earwigs are not known to purposefully climb into ear canals, but there have been anecdotal reports of earwigs being found in the ear.[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
