All right, this one's a bit of nightmare fuel, but last Saturday I woke up in the middle of the night And immediately noticed something wrong with my left ear. No pain, but every few seconds I would just hear a loud crackling in the ear And I'd had an earwax blocking before but it never really sounded like this So I was a little concerned, you know googled symptoms. What's you know going on here? I put a you know, a cotton pad in my ear and the cracking sound stopped But it was replaced with some soft ticking sound so it made it hard to fall asleep. But eventually I drifted off Next morning, you know the noises my left ear had stopped. That's awesome, but there's still wax in my ear And because I could hear it move when I put pressure on my ears Over the course of the next few days. I like try to remove it myself It was super deep in there put water in my ear more cotton pads olive oil You know like throwing the whole kitchen sink at it, but nothing got the ear wax out until today I was you know sort of poking around with tweezers in my ear Which I know is not really the great thing to do but whatever I was doing it I mean I managed to I managed to finally grab the earwax I was pumped right like finally took it out and wanted to see what it is and to my horror It was not earwax It was a tiny moth that had crawled in my ear and was trying to burrow home in there And it couldn't leave my ear because of the cotton pad that I had stuffed inside And so it got like plugged in there and died and it stayed in my ear for half a week And that's what it was. It wasn't earwax at all. So super disgusting still think of it, but man Please be careful with shit in your ear
