The headline of Holley's article, "I Went to the ER with a Live Roach in My Ear and It Was as Horrifying as You Think," certainly is quite descriptive. Her husband first tried to pull the roach out of her ear but only managed to pull out two more spiky legs. They then went to the emergency room, where the medical personnel inserted lidocaine into her ear, which killed the roach and numbed her ear, and then managed to extract more roach parts. The trouble is, over the ensuing 8 days, she continued to suffer soreness and decreased hearing, because roach body parts still remained in her ear. If you would like to be grossed out, just search for the words "bug in ear" on YouTube.
