Man finds cockroach living in his ear

Man finds cockroach living in his ear -
then discovers it had 25 babies
A man who went to the doctors complaining of earache was
horrified to discover he had a family of cockroaches living
in his ear.
Not only was there a big mummy cockroach taking up
residence in his ear canal, but she had spawned 25 little
baby roaches.
The 19-year-old patient, known only as Mr Li, had gone to
hospital after his ear became itchy and painful.
Doctors took a look inside his ear and were shocked to
discover it was crawling with tiny insects.
They believe the female cockroach went inside Mr Li's ear
several weeks before laying her eggs.
Doctors said that had Mr Li not come to hospital in time, his
ear would have been "destroyed".
Yang Jing, a doctor from Chang'an Xiaobian Hospital in
Dongguan, told TVS: "We saw an insect-shaped object
blocking his ear canal completely."
Cockroaches, who are often pitched as the only creature
that would survive a nuclear explosion, are hardy insects
that can survive for months with no food.
