Recently watched a show on ER experiences and a patient was brougt in with a large bug in his ear...the staff deliberatly gave the patient to one of the doctors that had a phobia about bugs...it was funny...he freaked when he looked into the ear and I think it was a bee or cockroach he had to remove.....still alive..
Good grief. Speaking of which, my sis once had a beetle fly right into her ear, but we were able to shake it out after some time (meanwhile freaking out of course).
That actually happened to me, once. Somehow, a full-grown cockroach got in my ear, and couldn't get out. Whenever it struggled, it sounded like a freight train in my head, and was excruciatingly painful.
Sis ran me to the hospital, and they found it immediately. When I asked the Doc what was wrong, he said, "You have a live insect in your ear." I didn't believe him, until they pulled it out with a long pair of tweezers.
Talk about grossed out. I nearly fainted.
