She has vivid memories of nurses laughing after she rang A&E on the dreaded moth night. I do remember the giggling when I was passed introduced by a nurse to the doctor as the mothman.

As a child, I was milking a cow when a bluebottle flew in its ear. I thought, that’s weird but just kept milking, when I’d finished, the same bluebottle showed up floating in the milk bucket.
Just goes to prove the saying…In one ear, out the udder! 🙄

I do have some sympathy with you. I once got an insect inside my ear whilst high up in the Alps on a solo trip. Not pleasant at all. After about four hours of trying to kill it I started wondering whether the excruiting pain every so often was it trying to escape and resolved to try to accept the pain and see what happened rather than hit my ear each time. Thankfully after about 30 secs of real pain it was gone!
Probably still left with the legacy of the eggs though...

Sorry, I realise this won't have been a funny experience, but how the hell did it get in there ? Rog The moth? It flew in. Was late night wandering home from a BBQ. Stopped for a pee and moth flew in. Could hear and feel it inside. Couple of hours later Ali had me at A&E. The constant flapping of its wings against my eardrum was very, very loud. The doctor drowned it with water. Then he tried to remove it with tweezers but couldn’t. I was then transferred to another hospital which had a type of mini vacuum cleaner. They sucked it out with this. Was told it needed to be done, as it may have been female and laid eggs. My only other visit for hospital treatment in the last 30 years involved a BBQ as well. A kebab stick splinter in my tongue. My tongue swelled up and nearly choked me to death. Dangerous things are BBQs... Thank God it was only a moth. We have one member here whose head is so big that he is at risk of having seagulls nesting in his ears.
