sunshine 2 #26 September 20, 2004 QuoteHow bizarre! We were just discussing this in my First Aid class on Friday - bugs crawling in to your ear, and I was thinking that I've never heard of that happening to anyone. Apparently the only thing you can do without going to the doc is to shine a light into your ear and hope the bug will crawl towards the light... It happens alot to children that live in roach infested houses. Unfortunately shining a light in the ear makes the roach try to go in further. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that a roach could fit into an ear... but I guess those nasty things can squeeze themselves through just about anything... That makes sense that the light would be a bad idea for a roach though... since they seem to prefer the darkness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #29 September 20, 2004 Last weekend I was at an open-air restaurant near some docks. There are a couple of squirrels that hang out next to your table and beg. I am against the idea of feeding wild animals, so I don't feed them. Plus, some people carry snacks in their dive bags and the squirrels will rip them to get in. Anyway, the squirrels were running through the rafters overhead and a girl remarked, "I hope they don't poop on us". About 20 minutes later, "plop". Two little squirrel poops on the table. Then she said, "I wish they'd go away, I'm afraid they'll jump on me." Ten minutes later, the two squirrels are playing grab-ass and running all over. Right up the back of her chair and down her shoulder. I also saw one pee all over a nearby chair. Big rats with fluffy tails. If squirrels had regular rat tails, people would chase them away.

That makes sense that the light would be a bad idea for a roach though... since they seem to prefer the darkness. Part of my company deals with low-income families that live in housing projects. Well most of them have roaches. Sad, but true. Anyhoo, because of that i know a lot about that kinda thing. The rise in asthma in children is mainly children that live in roach infested homes. Something about the roach droppings is bad for the air. And smaller roaches easily fit in a child's ear. Something even grosser to know. Roaches will climb in your mouth while you're sleeping and eat food particles they find inbetween your teeth.

FlyingJ 0 #32 September 20, 2004 QuoteThe rise in asthma in children is mainly children that live in roach infested homes. Something about the roach droppings is bad for the air. It's amazing the effect roaches have on air quality. My last year in NYC (living in an ancient pre-war building with a healthy dose of roaches) I had some serious allergy problems. When I went for a new test I was astounded to find out that next to ragweed, the thing I was most allergic to was roaches. The alergic reaction is primarily to their dried up skin that they shed as they grow. I think there are probably a lot of people that just think they get frequent colds that really have the same allergy.Killing threads since 2004.

Know what their fav sweet is? Toothpaste. Roaches love to sit on toothbrushes and suck the leftover toothpaste out of your brush while you sleep. Roach evening: 1. A festive evening at the toilet bowl, looking for poop particles. 2. Dining on toothpaste while standing on your toothbrush with their little poop-covered feeties.

I could barely go to sleep last night because I kept thinking that it was going to happen again. I ended up having nightmares about it all night. I HATE THIS SHIT!!! It is soooooooooooo GROSS!!!!! Oh and PJ, don't worry about me get addicted to this stuff. I took one and I don't think I'm going to be taking the rest of them.I'm so funny I crack my head open!

Ok, so I'm gonna go kill myself now. If a roach ever gets in my teeth and I wake up to it, I might go on a killing spree, because I would absolutely lose my mind.
