So im going to be honest I thought it was pretty weird when I was asked to make a list
a few months back about the top 5 strange fact about feet.
And that same confused feeling washed over me when I read this list title.
Now while I was confused I was also kind of intrigued.
What weird gross things can be found in humans ears?
I wasn’t sure- but I was about to find out.
Now I know what your thinking who the heck wants to know about that?
And while thats fair…
I know theres a little part of you that is kind of interested to find out.
I mean you did click on this video for a reason.
Well lets be weirdos together and learn all about it.
Hey youtube im court mcginley and this is the most amazing top 5.
Before we get started I want to know- what is your favorite thing about yourself.
Let me know your answers down in the comments.

Alright with out further a due lets get started on our list of the top 5 gross things found
in human ears.
Coming in at our number 5 spot--Moth- yep this is one of my nightmares.
A man named Michael Gorman form Missouri was out with his buddies one night just having
a good time when all of a sudden a moth decided to fly directly into his ear.
Michael said he felt the moth land near his ear and when he went to slap it away the little
fellow made its way into his ear.
That would be absolutely terrifying.
And as we all know moths arnt tiny either.
This thing would take up your whole ear canal.
Michael was obviously freaking out as he could hear the uncontrollable flapping of the moth
in his ear.
But his friends had his back and came to his rescue with a pair of tweezers.
It took a few minutes and the moth got way in there-- but they finally got it out of
their friends ear.
Upon extraction they also found a little tick in there too.
Yeah I wouldn’t be going outside for a while if I was this guy.
Theres actually a video of this on youtube.
It was uploaded in 2014 and has 37 million views check it out- 3:30-3:40.
https://youtu.be/XJhyZARAJHw in at number 4--Cricket- A patient who wished
to remain anonymous went to the hospital after he felt a ticklish feeling in his ear.
When he was seen by a doctor the doctor informed him something was stuck in his ear so he was
going to remove it.
After a successful removal the doctor told the patient that he actually had a cricket
in his ear.
I just don’t understand how you wouldn’t realize a cricket jumped into your ear.
I mean they make a lot of nose and move quite a bit.
But at least its out now.
At number 3--Spider- yes this one has always been a fear of mine.
When I was a kid if I saw a spider on my ceiling I would need my brother to come kill it for
me otherwise I couldn’t go to sleep- I was just so convinced it would crawl into my ear
as I slept and that wasn’t ok.
A woman in China actually had a spider living in her ear for a week.
She went to the doctor with an ear ache and the doctors were able to remove it.
But even still this would make me wear ear plugs to bed and have an intense fear of creepy
crawlers.
Coming in at number 2--Centipede- ok this is one I could not handle.
Just hearing this sent shivers down my spine.
Yeah just think about a bug with 20 plus little legs and antennas crawling down into your
ear.
Bleh.
A 14 year old named Grant Botti had been experiencing a weird and irritating sensation in his ear
after returning home from a family beach trip.
So he actually reached into his ear and was absolutely shocked when he pulled out the
tail of a 4 inch long centipede.
And to make things even more freaky the bug was still alive.
His parents took him to the hospital to be checked out.
Luckily the extent of the damage was only a few abrasions in the ear canal.
But the doctors told the family they were shocked and never seen something like this
before.
And in at number 1--Maggots-One person- who choses to remain anonymous…yeah cant say
I blame them.
Actually had an entire colony of maggots removed from not only his ears but also his nostrils.
Yeah one maggot is bad enough but a whole colony… oh my god.
And theres actually a term for this believe it or not.
Its called- Myiasis- My-asis.
Its known as the term for when fly larvae invade a persons nose or ears and lay eggs.
So yeah if theres a name for this sort of thing then it doesn’t seem that uncommon.
Apparently its mostly found in children and the elderly.
Heres a little video for you 27 seconds to 33 seconds.
https://youtu.be/UbYyOxbBAnk Yep that’s inside of a persons nose who
has this condition.
And if you plan on sleeping in a warm house with lots of flies this can happen.
Your suppose to put a protective covering over your face to stop the flies from laying
their eggs inside your faced.
Yeah that’s just nasty.
And I think you now understand why it was in the number one spot.
Alright guys well that was our list of the top 5 gross things found in human ears.
I hope it didn’t gross you out too much and if it did just be happy you didn’t have
to do the research for it.
If you want a part 2 let me know down in the comments.
Yep believe it or not there are a lot of other creepy things that can be found in ears- trust
me the images have been burned into my brain.
Thank you all so much for watching.
