Experience: A tick gave birth in my ear
Briefly

The otoscope revealed something moving in my ear, leading us to panic as we pondered the terrifying prospect of an insect living inside me. It felt like something out of a nightmare.
The doctor admitted he had never seen anything living in a patient’s ear after his 30 years in medicine, which emphasized just how rare this situation was.
Reluctantly, I came to A&E worried it was overkill, but my husband’s instinct and the horrifying otoscope discovery convinced me that it was necessary.
We unknowingly documented a disturbing discovery in my ear, leading to an emergency visit that highlighted how everyday health tools can bring unforeseen medical revelations.
