INTERESTING FACT

Earwigs DO climb into people's ears!!!! I don't know about laying eggs or burrowing though. My step-son woke up screaming one night because something was making noise in his ear. An earwig came crawling out. NOT A MYTH!!!!

I believe it's spelled "disgusting".

offensive part removed
lol i got goosebumps just thinking about earwigs climbimg into my ears and laying their disgusting eggs in there. I mean comme on thats gross and sorta frightning right?

i'm a garbageman, earwigs like to hide in the rims of garbage cans, when i take the lids off the cans, about a dozen earwigs fall into the can, they also hide under the cans, i have a beard and long hair, so i'm always wondering if earwigs are falling into my hair...today i found an earwig in my hair, but none in my beard so far, just a small grey spider. i was never bothered by the idea of earwigs but several people i know are afraid of them, i've had them crawling on my arms and hands from the garbage before, i think they are just trying to find a new place to hide, its kind of amusing to see them scurry around on the sidewalk with the crickets and spiders when i move the can, they're suddenly so exposed.

that is all.

onetime i woke up and without me even controlling my arm snapped up to my ear and grabbed an earwig that about got into my ear so hey avram thers two incidents for ya

no comment. that none of my business.....

one of those crawled into my ear before
i thought it was going to eat my brain
i shat brix

I believe earwigs were named as such because their wings when fully extended resemble the human ear:

Thought ears needed muffs - not wigs

my friend said an ear wig pinched his brothers skin and wouldnt let go is this possible?????

Fifteen or twenty years ago, I woke with a buzzing in my ear, went into the bathroom, began to fiddle with my finger - then a Q-tip. A giant earwig crawled out!!! I FREAKED!!!!!!!!!!! The worst part was that there was no information available at that time, and I thought they had to be known as EARWIGS for some reason. I called my doctor and spoke to our pharmacist. Neither could offer any help. With visions of thousands of them hatching in my head in the following weeks, I did buy the strongest ear-cleansing products that could be purchased over the counter, and flushed my ear for a couple of days. I still shudder when I think of it, but I'm still here, and my brain still works.

okay its 3:16 am. i jut woke up cuz what i thought was water in my ear was in fact an earwig. sorry i don't have the best spelling but, after i found the guy i put him in a glass and cleaned out my ears with some q-tips hardcore. my ear does in fact have a nick somewhere and i do have blood in my ear. i sleep downstairs on a blow up mattress because there are no other available beds. about a year ago i was sleeping on my brothers old bed and woke up to an earwig crawling across my face. i then screamed my head of and cried for so long. wtf am i supposed to do now? my mom just told me to sleep upstairs and it will go away. but i don't know. anybody wanna help me out? im a freaking pregnant teen that absolutely hates bugs and crap like this is always happening to me. its a good thing i hadn't cleaned my ears or a while. the only protection i had was my earwax.

KORI - Get some electronic pest deterant device?

I'm terrified of earwigs, spiders, centipedes, ect... Or at least the thought of one touching me. I'm trying to study spiders and earwigs and other bugs to get over my fear. And I may have trouble sleeping tonight, cuz it's bedtime soon... Damn Shino...
