China – This is probably your worst nightmare if you don’t like insects.
A cockroach managed to burrow its way into a woman’s ear when she was fast asleep.
Yep, it got right in there and forced ‘Su’, from Huaihua City, Hunan, China, to go to the doctors.
That was after she had tried and failed to remove it herself.
But her physicians had better success as the grisly video below shows.
‘The patient came in complaining of pain in her ear, claiming that an insect had crawled inside it – and that it was still moving,’ ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist Dr Meng Jie said.
‘We spotted the cockroach deep in her ear canal – its legs were still moving – and pulled it out after giving [the patient] some local anaesthetics.’
But it wasn’t a comfortable experience for ‘Su’ as the cockroach started wriggling around when they sprayed it with chemicals.
It was eventually pulled out alive.
She did not suffer any permanent damage.
