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. (www.mayoclinic.org)

Had a fly so deep in it couldn’t be seen. But I could feel it fluttering. Would not recommend.

I had that happen too! With a small beatle though, and every time it tried to fly it was like electric shocks going directly into my brain. It left a couple of minutes after I managed to stay calm.
