  • Not sure but this has been said by many people I know....

    Put some warm water in the ear with the bug. Then like shake your head gently for a while before bending your head sideways and try tapping the ear with your hand and it will come out with the water.

  • So did it crawl in there just now or has it been lodged in there for days? As a child, I used to have an overwhelming fear of spiders laying eggs in my ear or brain and once I had a weird lump in my ear (it was just a slightly infected spot) and I ran downstairs crying in the middle of the night and begged my mum to take me to the hospital because I was 100% convinced it was an egg sack.

    • This comment brought back memories of the Butthole Surfers album with an image of that on it, lol! IIRC, everyone had a cow about it!

  • Tilt your head over to the side and shake out the bug

  • I would recommend going to your local urgent care clinic or somewhere similar. As someone who has dealt with some nasty ear infections, ear stuff is not to be messed with, plus you don't want to stick anything in your ear or mess with your eardrum!

  • Get a grill lighter and some bug spray

    I felt bad for that spider the first time I saw this done
