Gruesome video shows live cockroach removed from woman's ear after insect crawled in while she slept

​LIVE COCKROACH REMOVED FROM WOMAN'S EAR

A gruesome video shows the moment a woman had a live cockroach removed from her ear after it crawled in there while she slept.

The woman surnamed Su, of Huaihua City’s Hecheng District, in Central China’s Hunan Province, told doctors that she did not know precisely what type of bug was inside her ear, only that it was still alive and continued to crawl and scratch.

She is said to have tried to remove the insect by herself , but whenever she reached into her right ear with a cotton bud, the creature only burrowed deeper and deeper.

At the hospital in Huaihua City, it had to get worse before it could get better for the poor woman, as a doctor told her he had to spray it with chemicals in order to subdue it.

The doctor warned that the procedure would "cause [the insect] to become agitated" and that she would "feel it moving a lot."

Footage of the procedure shows Su in extreme discomfort as a doctor looked into her ear for the insect, followed by the horrible moment the cockroach was slowly pulled from her ear canal - alive.

The bug’s legs were still moving and it could only be killed after it was taken out of her ear.

Seeing the insect for the first time, Su can be heard saying: "It’s really a cockroach? Oh, god."

Meng Jie, head of the hospital’s ENT (ear, nose, throat) department, said: "The patient came in complaining of pain in her ear, claiming that an insect had crawled inside it - and that it was still moving.

"We spotted the cockroach deep in her ear canal - its legs were still moving - and pulled it out after giving [the patient] some local anaesthetics."
