Hate to tell you, but last night my 17 year old daughter woke up screaming in the middle of the night that a bug was in her ear!. It was horrifying. She felt it crawling around. I advised her to tilt her head and jump up and down and out came an earwig! It was the most disgusting and frightening thing that ever happened to us! So it does happen!
