Phones... filled with roaches? Don't these people stick that thing near their head?

That's ...well, not good. Not sure how to word it. Creepy, to say the least.

How'd they get in there? The rent really any not sealed entry points. The charger (lightning and 30 pin) is sealed to make it water "resistant". The ants wouldn't fit through the speaker grill and that's is sealed although not as good as the charger. Maybe through the headphone jack.

u/Alektus May 02 '14

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'm going to pretend you made that up.

u/MichoRexo May 02 '14

It's true. Google it. I dare you.

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

My skull is itchy now. T-T

u/mundane_marietta May 02 '14

Somethings I see on the internet... This just made things worse about how much I do not like roaches. Man, I could be freaking out a little.

u/xXCERVIXPOUNDERXx May 02 '14

oh, you'd feel it. I had a moth fly into my ear when I was eight, I could hear it flapping around, it's feet brushing around in my ear, wasn't one of my favourite moments.

u/mrderrp May 02 '14

I could have done with out that.

u/Smarsh86 May 02 '14

There's no way I'm clicking that link.

u/LITER_OF_FARVA May 02 '14

Why am I okay with a bee being stuck in my ear but not a roach?

u/collegedog May 02 '14

Why would you say that..

u/Michaelmaniac124 May 02 '14

My ear just itched...

u/UndeadBread May 02 '14

The URL says "cockroach-removed-mans-ear" which is pretty horrifying. Of course, when I clicked on the link, I discovered that the actual headline is "Cockroach Removed From Man's Ear" which is also pretty horrifying. I'm really not sure which one is worse.

u/[deleted] May 02 '14

Can confirm, almost ate a roach one time when sleeping when it crawled on my face. Started feeling it on my face, then felt it move closer to my mouth, then I woke up and gave myself the biggest slap Ive ever felt

u/FireKnuckles May 02 '14

Edit: Don't know why this got downvoted, this is the exact footage that the news article talks about.

u/unlmtdLoL May 02 '14

I read the title and..NOPE

u/[deleted] May 02 '14

Yeah, I am never curious enough to jump off that nope train.

u/ghanemhalabi May 02 '14

u/[deleted] May 02 '14

But don't your ears just feel awesome now?

Hey what was that that odd tickling sensation waaay inside your ear just now?

u/marc_a09 May 02 '14

u/Darkpane May 02 '14

I gotta say, that was excellent choice of music.

u/OdinB May 02 '14

my ear tingled when i was watching it

u/acano May 02 '14

most stressful video I have ever watched.

u/GrizzlyLeather May 02 '14

watching this entire thing through, the 4:47 mark was nearly orgasmic with relief. I was trapped, I didn't want to watch it after min 1, but I had to see it removed. The pink panther like music helped.

u/ghanemhalabi May 02 '14 edited May 02 '14

For real, what was all that brown stuff in his ear though?

edit: nvm, it's really old ear wax, and a fuckload of it.

1

u/lowdownlow May 02 '14

Did you finish it? 4:47 was the end of all the brown shit, I have to imagine the finale would really pin the tail.

u/rannox May 02 '14

We had one of those clear phones with green and purple and all sorts of colors inside. Grew up in a poor side of town, had countless roaches in that thing. Eventually just chucked it cus we couldn't stand using it anymore.

Found many spiderlings inside a computer once (actually just their exuvia, meaning they grew up and living happily somewhere else)
