In retrospect, this was just as disturbing as it sounds.

Well, that was an experience.

I just spent a couple of hours at a hospital emergency ward because a bug flew into my ear and couldn't get out.

And then it died and the doctor had to vacuum it out. (Using a special... ear vacuum thing).

Though at least that was an improvement over earlier, when I could feel it flapping around inside my ear. I don't particularly want to do that again.

Yeah, I think I've had quite enough of being a living urban legend for one night.
