Thanks. I really, REALLY didn’t need to read that!!!
Yet ANOTHER reason this Yankee will NEVER live below the Mason-Dixon Line!
Good Lord! I’ll take tornadoes, blizzards, Black Bear, floods, drought, bee & wasp stings, mosquito bites, ticks, and random RABID Democrats...but at least the insects up here don’t crawl into your orifices while you sleep!
*SHUDDER*
Since you cockroach parts out of your ear before going to the hospital, shouldn’t the title be “I Went to the ER with a DEAD Roach in My Ear...”?
...IF it ever happens again...

BTW, you just gave a clue that you're from and/or in SC... '-)
Unpleasant for sure.I worked in a big city ER for years and we saw this pretty regularly.Typically it isn’t difficult for an ENT specialist to deal with...but patients typically don’t enjoy the experience.
I thought earwigs went for the ears and cockroaches went.... uhmm... never mind....I see where this might be headed.
Wow....unreal. Poor girl.
She should be glad she wasn’t sleeping with her mouth open.
That’s it! I’m sleeping with the light on.
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!”
What if you just hold a Roach Motel up to your ear and whack your head on the other side?
Pretty much America’s experience when Obama was elected.
My grandson once stuck a popcorn kernel in his ear. (who knows why a two year old does stuff like that?) We grabbed a cotton swab, put some Elmer’s Glue on it and popped that sucker right out.
Am I the only one who is wondering why clickbait is being posted on FreeRepublic?
I just hate when that happens! I sleep with earplugs now.
How about douse the ear with rubbing alcohol. Kills the roach in no time.
Friday night always has the best stories.
“U.S. Food and Drug Administration place limits on how many insect
parts different food items can have”
Not only do they get in your ears,
we evidently eat small bits and
pieces of bug body parts also.
Found a big green whole grasshopper
in a can of green beans once.
That happened to me a few times when I lived in Queens New york city which is about the most roach infested area on earth. I use to sit on my couch watching TV and those mofos would crawl on my neck and legs. It was like patting away mosquitoes only they were cockroaches. Oh yes, and we had this alcoholic woman living on the top floor who one night put chicken in her oven then went to the bar and forgot about the chicken and of course the chicken ignited and started a fire, and when the firemen came, all the water they used to put out the fire went behind the walls and pushed all the cockroaches out into the stairwell and there were millions of them, waterfalls down the stairs and that smell of millions piss smelling cockroaches, some as big as my thumb, the entire building filled with them. But I would be sleeping and would wake up with them on my face, and the few times they would be in my ear and I would pull them out with tweezers. Oh yes, and one night waking up with one crawling up my nose.
If you have kids who get stars in their eyes about being actors or artists and think moving to NYC is great, do whatever you can to stop them. I grew up there, there is not enough money on this earth to ever get me to move back to that leftist sh*thole from hell. That city will literally drive you crazy, it is literally one huge sewer dump on a rock. I use to work in Greenpoint Brooklyn and would walk to work 4am and the garbage bags would be moving from the rats eating holes in them and going through them. You would think a person would be in these bags they moved so much, but it was rats. Thousands of rats going through the garbage coming up from Newton creek which occasionally would have a human body floating in it. And this was 20 years ago. Today I would imagine it’s a zillion times worse especially since the asstards there elected a commie Mayor twice.
