How the hell did this fit in my ear? (Way TMI)

I sincerely hope I never need this knowledge, but just in case … how DO you get a moth out of your ear canal?

I don’t know how to remove it, but I’ve always been told that if it’s a stingy insect, you should drown it in your ear.

So, what, you ask it if you can borrow some cash, and if it says no, you drown it?

Me too. It was one of the most unpleasant experiences (probably #1 of the pain-free kind) I’ve ever had. There’s nothing to make you panic like being able to feel something moving around in your ear and not knowing how to get it out. I was still upset even after I got it out, and I no longer like little moths.

My aunt once had a small beetle fly in her ear. She went nuts. Screaming running around and completely incoherent. Her husband couldn’t get her to calm down enough to tell him what was wrong, and he ended up calling 911. He was sure she was having some kind of psychotic breakdown.
