VanSickle is seeking unspecified damages.
This isn’t the first crazy story about a cockroach crawling into someone’s ear
Earlier this year, a man from New Zealand, Zane Wedding, made the news when he reported spending three days with a cockroach living inside one of his ears.
After going to the doctor thinking he had water in his ear, trying some ear drops, and even using a hair dryer to no relief, on the third day a specialist finally discovered the cockroach in his ear and was able to remove it.

“In that moment I realized every movement I’d felt over the weekend was the cockroach moving around in my ear,” recalled. “I instantly thought of the fact I had just been pumping hot air into my head and cooking a cockroach in my ear canal all weekend. It made me feel sick. Every time she touched it I just imagined her squishing a cockroach into my eardrum, so I wasn’t the perfect patient. It was instant relief… I felt a pop as soon as the doctor pulled it away. Once I knew it was a bug it all clicked together… That’s why the water would move even when I was still. It was a cockroach moving in my head.”
