My significant other woke up last night with... a roach inside of her ear! She was complaining about pain in her ear, and a head ache that was incredibly severe. So, we took her to the doctor and he saw it with a light... and put water in her ear to get it out. Disgusting!
Oh gross!  I've heard of flies or ants being in an ear, but a roach?  That gives me chills because I hate roaches sooooo much.  Now I might have nightmares tonight!
I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that. Yeah, some smaller ones--heck, even bigger ones, can get up there. And then they get stuck, and they freak out, so they're essentially just biting the inside of your head to try and get out. It's horrible to think about, and I've been trying to comfort her since when it happened a little bit ago. But she's getting over it soon. The weird thing is we don't even really ever see bugs in our house, so it was kind of like a one in a million thing. I bet she sleeps with ear plugs in her eyes for the next few years though...
EW!  I might start sleeping with ear plugs in now too.  I've heard you eat 8 spiders on average in a lifetime, some in your sleep.  So many things to be scared of with bugs! I'm so glad they were able to get it out.  Tell her I hope she gets over the trauma of it okay.
