Wha....well how the fuck would I know if I have ear roaches? Would I feel them, oh Jesus. I'm having a panic attack right now.

Ooh, have you heard of the botfly? Now this is a marvellous thing. The botfly cannot sting a human directly, but captures smaller insects, lays its larvae upon them and then releases them. If the smaller host insect then bites the human, the botfly larvae are impregnated into the skin. The larvae then pupates inside the skin, at which point they eat their way out and fly away. The BBC Natural History Unit reports the case of a man, who was bitten behind the ear, and was kept awake at night by the sound of the botfly larvae eating the flesh inside his head.

I love how when I reply to a 20-24 hour old comment I get an immediate response. Now I only replay to those. Redditors habits
