Thanks for the info. :D I actually didn’t write the article though.

“Just pour 91% rubbing alcohol into your ear.”

LOL. I honestly don’t know if that would work but my first thought was it is not surprising you’re deaf.

That sounds pretty scary. That’s good that it walked out pretty quickly.

A certain scene from Victor/Victoria...

Took me a while to order a salad after that one...

The whole article is a great read. It reminded me of a BOTFLY EXTRACTION.

She should be glad she wasn’t sleeping with her mouth open.

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

Makes me think of the flick, "Damnation Alley", from 1977.

It came out the same year as "Star Wars", and had twice the budget. The studio execs were certain it would be the big sci-fi hit of the year, not the tribute to 1930's serials by that guy who did "American Graffiti".

“Never tried to hide a roach in my ear before.....”

I accidentally sucked one in once. Burnt!

That last pic of the head and rather lengthy antennae that the first doc overlooked is pretty unsettling.

Also, I must commend her bravery for letting a percussionist — aka a DRUMMER — stick a metal tool in her ear. I would draw the line at bass player, and even that would be a total desperation move.

The strangest part of this story is that they got to the ER at 2am and out at 3:45?!?!?! Here a roach in the ear at the ER would be at least a 16 hr wait behind every illegal in town with a sniffle.

Reminds me of the prevention method used on the show ‘Raising Hope’. One girl always slept with a stocking/pantyhose on her head due to fearing a bug would crawl in her ear. Makes perfect sense now!

I’d’ve let Freddy Kruger have a go at me. Yeesh.

What a horrible experience. I was visiting my friends who were living outside Charleston, S.C., and I woke up one night with the sound of something buzzing and walking around on my head. I jumped up, and turned on the light, and discovered a big cockroach on the bed. I grabbed some kleenex, picked it up, took it to the bathroom, and flushed it down the toilet. I had to check the bedroom, and bed thoroughly before I would even climb back in and try to get back to sleep. When I mentioned it to my friend the next morning, she said, “Oh that’s just a Palmetto Bug.” I said “Honey, where I come from, they’re cockroaches!”

Pour a pint of Jim Beam in your ear. When the a$$hole comes out to start a fight hit it with a hammer. Then drink another pint of Beam and brag how you kicked a rouge bugs a$$. No booze you loose. I have cures for other bugs but probably not apporiate for this forum. Just sayin.

What if you just hold a Roach Motel up to your ear and whack your head on the other side?

At least the snow flake did not call for a Amberlamps and incur a $1500 Bill for the ride.

Pretty much America’s experience when Obama was elected.
