Roach bugs woman by crawling in her ear and not coming out

MELBOURNE, FLORIDA — A Florida woman had the unlucky experience of getting a big old cockroach stuck in her ear.

Katie Holley and her husband had just moved into their newly purchased house, which unfortunately already had some squatters, so the couple paid for an exterminator to spray the residence, according to Self magazine.

Problem solved. Or was it? A few weeks later on the night of April 14, Holley woke up in the middle of the night with a strange feeling in her left ear.

She went into the bathroom and used a Q-tip to see what was up, and two little black legs came out.

After freaking out, Holley made her way to the emergency room where a doctor used some lidocaine to numb her ear and kill the roach. He then started pulling pieces of dead roach out.

Too bad, he didn't get all of it. Nine days later, Holley's ear still felt funky, so she went to see an ENT doctor, who ended up pulling out the entire head and upper torso of the dead roach.

Yummy. Holley said she now sleeps with cotton balls in her ears.
