When I was a little girl my Daddy and I watched lot's of scary movies together. One of them was a Twilight Zone that showed a man lose his mind after earwigs crawled into his ear and damaged his brain.
I still get the creeps when I find an earwig near me, maybe if they were heavier walkers and I knew they were coming........
