I don't know how it feels to read this but while writing it I discovered a new mixture of sympathy and revulsion.

Comic 'Lifestyle of the Modern Earwig'
What are those pincers for? Earwigs use them to carry fibrous material for their nests. In the modern age this often means man-made materials like carpeting or pocket lint.
[Ilustration: An earwig confusedly examines his butt]
Industrious earwigs may visit your pockets four times a day on average. That's a lot of lint! [Four assloads to be precise]

Earwigs are widely believed to be poisonous but their sting rarely results in death

I am going to knock my teeth out now. No more earwigs for me!
Jacksaunt2011-04-09 13:16:19
Earwigs, in MY body?
Starch2011-04-09 13:30:08
It's more likely than you think.
Bloody Mary2011-04-09 15:05:21
I like it. I actually think I enjoy these more than the colored ones.
Captain Crazy2011-04-09 17:42:55
I didn't need my teeth anyway.
Flamecannon2011-04-09 17:49:04

This is exactly why I recommend a daily teaspoon of Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner.

This is total bullshit. Don't believe him. Seriously, POCKET LINT? What do they do with it after? Eat it? There's no colony inside of me, I'm sure it would cause health problems. It's would be a parasitic relationship. Nice job freaking everyone out though :p
32 earwigs... That would be scary.

Ryan, maybe you live a place where there are no earwigs.
Kilser2011-04-15 19:31:25

Kitkat2011-04-16 19:17:13
Oh, dear. Is this true? I sure hope not.
That Other Guy2011-04-17 22:56:42
uggghhhhh, thank you, so much. Because I didn't despise earwigs enough without the mental image of 32 of them crawling around my intestines or something...
Caaptain Thomas2011-04-18 23:27:01
Oh, god.

Earwigs do none of that, not sure why anybody believes it. There are plenty of earwigs here, i used to let them pinch me as a child, it tickles. They live in dark wet areas like under rocks and leaves, and dont have nests with lint, they lay eggs in small crevices (found this out recently after turning over a stone and seeing several earwigs scurry to cover several egg clusters).

Justalittlecanadian2012-01-02 21:38:42
There are no earwigs where I've live my whole life. It's too cold here. The bugs warm places have freak me out to the point of not wanting to move. I'll stick with bear, moose, and deer thanks.
Blargh2012-01-02 21:41:01
It's a joke - much love from someone in a warmer part of Canada than you.

1. Earwig's biting you cannot lead to death
2. There are not any earwigs inside of you
