TIL: If a fly gets so deep in your ear you can’t even see it, pour some baby oil in. It encapsulates the fly and eventually it will slip out. - Sopuli (sopuli.xyz)

My grandmother went to the doctor during her cancer diagnosis and complained that she had a bump inside her ear that affected her hearing. The doctor investigated and there was an insect that died in there many years before and the skin grew around it.

In the end, it was not removed. They were cremated together.
