When i was a kid i had a small bug get into my ear accidentally when i got into bed. It was apparently on my pillow and i didnt notice it. It was the worse sensation i had ever. Went to the ER to get it out :frowning:

Man, that scene freaked me out as a kid. The Star Trek II one.

Yup, that Night Gallery ep is the first thing I thought of when I saw that headline.

So I would never even dream of doing this.

This must irritate one’s eardrum like hell.

My luck, it would go in my ear and poop out all the earwax it ate from the previous person’s ear canal.

Had mine cleared out recently with warm water pressured in, worked fine so I’ll think I’ll stick with the modern method.

Ugh, there’s not even a benefit to ear-cleaning for most (?) people. Why even bother?

To get you to react. Just like that. On the plus side it wasn’t a link to this.
