2. Fruit Fly Larvae

With sweet delicious fruit, comes annoying and gross fruit flies. But did you know if you live in a tropical climate, you are susceptible for these little guys to plant their larvae inside your ear? Unfortunately for this 48-year-old Taiwanese woman, that was exactly the case. After suffering a 24 hour long earache, doctors removed her hearing aid from her ear and found blood-stained residue all throughout her ear. Doctors suspected that the larva formed at her home, as it is common for fruit flies to thrive in warm climates. How do the larvae survive in their dwelling? Well, the larvae feed off of the flesh inside the ear. In severe cases, they can make their way to the brain and kill the patient.
