New Zealand man has cockroach extracted from ear three days after feeling wriggling

A New Zealand man has had a cockroach pulled from his ear three days after first feeling a squirming sensation.

Zane Wedding said he initially thought the problem was just water in his ear. The Aucklander had been for a swim at a local pool on Friday morning and fell asleep on his couch that evening. He woke up with a blocked ear - and the feeling there was something wriggling inside.
