Interestingly enough, this is a modified version of part of a list of made up facts that was circulated to prove how easily people accept information as truth in the early days of the internet. (though arguably still relevant now). In the original statement it was 8 spiders were swallowed in your sleep per year. Overtime many different variations have come about.
Not a roach, but when I was younger, (about 23) I had a spider cricket crawl into my ear. It was utterly horrifying, but I didn’t feel it while it was happening. I woke up after a nap, everything sounded muffled, then I heard scritching sounds and noped all the way to the hospital. One oral syringe and a cup full of warm water, and they blasted that bastard right the hell out.
yussss!! I am glad im not the only one who thought that.

Should have gone for the pantyhose on head, like on Raising Hope.
What if his powers allow him to respawn with everything on his person?

Still better than a Xenomorph, not that this makes me any less likely to wear earplugs when I sleep

There is a case of a girl with ants that are nesting in her skull. Doctors keep pulling out more from her ear, but they haven’t found the queen yet, and other then ear pain from too many there isn’t seemingly any other impact on her health. I think the girl lives in India.

Having had a gnat fly up my nose while doing yard work,Ears would be better, thank you.
Well, if he keeps resurrecting, and he’s fully refreshed when he comes back, then theoretically he could do it every night and it wouldn’t even matter.

Given how Ethan reacts to the slim possibility of a bug crawling into his ear, I wonder how he would react to someone explaining in explicit detail how his nose works, using the example of smelling something disgusting, like shit. Does Ethan know that when he walks into a bathroom and smells Shit, that microscopic pieces of shit floating in the air, landed on the inside of his nose when he breathed in? Does he know, that those microscopic pieces of shit then landed on “hairs” that are actually part of his olfactory Neurons? and that a neuron is a… Read more »

I can say for a fact that a bug in the ear hurts like hell! happened to me on a camping trip as a kid pine beetle got in my ear an tried to dig it’s way through my eardrum had to go to the ER for them to kill it. my parents thought my eardrum had ruptured. It was the single worst pain of my life.
DAMMNNN. At leat my ear bugs just wanted a warm space and were not trying to kill me.

And now he’ll wrap his head with a duct tape and suffocate. One more stupid death, one more respawn.

In the last couple years I’ve had a spider and a beetle in my ear. Both crawled in while I was asleep. I got the beetle out right away, but the spider was tenacious and it took all to get him to come out.
24
And there incident of spider in a woman ear, which I would argue is worse then roaches.
Nose isn’t as bad as ear since you can blow your nose, forcing the bug to go out.
Mouth, well people do eat bugs
Yeah, I saw that headline and promptly noped the hell out of there without reading it. Thanks for the reminder.
Alright, alright, where’s the dang link?
One of us! One of us!
Lucas is true bro, always remember to point mistakes of your friends when they think to have proofed all holes
Roach: Home?
Me: Yeeaahh, how about no?
Is it just me, or does Lucas’ hair look peculiar in the last panel?
It seems bigger… more pompous
I am _fairly_ sure that I would notice a cockroach burrowing into my ear even were I asleep.
The average person swallows 2-3 bugs in their sleep every year.
Source, please
Please provide sources for these made up facts.
source : dude trust me
That’s a myth. The number was concocted out of thin air.
No it came form the Internet and you know its true!!!

That’s what I was thinking.
nice one lucas for now ethan will be wearing his superhero outfit and mask all the time to keep the bugs away.
There was a guy who had a leech living in his nose.
I think if Ethan he had a roach in his ear he would just have to force himself to respawn, no other choice honestly…
Why wouldn’t he just kill himself if one gets in? He’d just respawn, right?
What if his powers allow him to respawn with everything on his person?

Love the Firefly poster there on the wall.
I was looking for this comment, thank you!
How many respawns do you think it will take until Ethan learns that it’s a bad idea to sleep with a plastic bag tied around his head?
