can cockroaches and small ants get in your ear? or mold?

Question

if can it make you dizzy, and sick, bad sick??

Answer 1

The part of the ear that hears - the tiny bones, the fluid, and the nerve - are all behind your eardrum. The ear canal - the tunnel from the part of your ears on the outside - is relatively long, and curved, relatively thick skinned, and has wax in it for protection (too much of it is an entirely different topic).
A small insect, like a small ant, could possibly crawl in a little ways, but a roach would be too big . It might make you dizzy, and it is a totally weird feeling, but it wouldn't make you sick.
Mold wouldn't be a problem, either- your ear canal is just the wrong kind of environment for it.
I have a degree in microbiology, and never in school or at work did I ever run across anyone with a mold infection in their ear, so don't worry about that.
I have also been a nurse for 20 some years, mostly in emergency rooms, and in all that time I have only run across anyone with an insect in their ear twice. The only infections we ever saw in ear canals were from bacteria, didn't make people really sick , but did make their ear ache.
You sound young, and I am wondering if someone has been telling you stories about things getting into/growing in people's ears and making them sick, like maybe an older brother or sister. Don't buy it.
If you are really worried about things getting into your ears when you sleep- for example- you could try putting cotton or soft tissue in your ears when you go to bed, but just barely, so it will stay. Don't push it in far, because that could scratch your ear canal some.
Peace.

I don't think that roaches can enter your ears though. I have experienced an ant in my ear because I heard something like something's scraping off my earwax. It felt a little kind of ticklish too. Maybe because I haven't cleaned it for days at that time so it was doing me a favor lol! jk! My aunt tried to take it out with a cotton bud but it won't come out. The little critter just fell off from my ear dead, maybe because of the cotton bud. I don't think that tiny critters can't literally enter our ears because there are earwaxes...eardrums...and all those parts. For the molds, I don't know because whenever water enters our ear, some of it won't get stuck too far inside because there are barrier which protect our ears from such things. And if ever water gets stuck inside, you can just finger your ear like swimmers do, or just absorb the water by your towel after bathing. After it gets absorbed, your ear will dry up any minute.

I flow!! of course the placement i'm at is amazingly grimy and the ants are fairly sensible (to discover the lifeless cockroach). Yeah and when I moved i could document the placement i grew to become into staying at !!!!!! Oh yeah, and in the previous I left the placement i could kill the ants too and confirm the cockroach grew to become into lifeless (in simple terms in case it had great insect power like the ants).

Answer 4

I know someone who told me they had gone to emergency room because they felt something crawling around inside of their ear and when it was removed they found it to be a bug. But the darnest thing, and I dont know how this could have possibly happened but I was there. One day I was at the doctor/surgon and this man and his wife were their and he was saying to her that he couldn't afford to take off from work 6-8 wks to undergo surgery. He said his back was hurting really bad and he had to do something soon. Apparently he was there to schedual the surgery, but he couldn't belive that he had a roach sitting on his kidney. ??? Those little buggers!

Answer 5

I have removed insects from patients' ears, small flying insectes as well as small roaches.

Answer 6

roaches and ants can get in side your ear esp. roaches if you dont clean the wax out of your ears roacges will get inside and eat the ear wax
