5 Bugs That Could LIVE IN YOUR HEAD

Bugs crawl inside people's ears much more often 0:06 than you might think.

Here are five times in just the last few years that bugs made their home in a human ear canal. Number one.

An Australian man woke up early one morning in 2014 and had a sharp pain in his right ear. At the doctor's office they told him he had a cockroach lodged in there. And it was one of the largest they'd ever seen. Cockroaches are the most common bug to be stuck in ears because they can't crawl backwards once they get in. And they realize they've made a huge mistake. Number two.

Spiders. A woman in China in 2012 visited the doctor after having an itchy ear for almost a week. A hairy spider with four eyes was living in her ear. Be warned you image search this because it's horrifying. The woman was fine after doctors flushed out the spider with a saline solution. Number three.

Maggots. 57 maggots, to be specific, were in a 90-year-old woman's ear in 2012, and had been there for three days. The woman lived in a nursing home in Illinois and could not speak or care for herself, due to Alzheimer's. Also, she had 57 maggots in her ear. Her family filed a suit against the nursing home for negligence and emotional distress. Number four.

Mites. A mite infestation in the ears is actually a rare condition called otoacariasis. In Taiwan in 2012, a 70-year-old man had a sense of fullness in his right ear, but no other complaints. Turns out, he had a community of microscopic house dust mites and mite eggs living in and feeding off of his ear. Number five.

More maggots! In 2013 a British woman came back from her holiday room in Peru with a bonus souvenir in her ear. On the plane trip home, she had a severe headache and could hear scratching noises. Sure enough, surgeons extracted screw worm fly larvae from her head. The larvae had managed to burrow a 12-millimeter hole in her ear canal. FYI.

The National Institute of Health recommends not trying to pull a bug out of your ear yourself. If it won't crawl out on its own, you can drown it in olive oil, or something similar. Go see a doctor.
