Friends Extract Huge Moth From Man's Ear Using Tweezers (GRAPHIC IMAGE)

WARNING: Video includes graphic content and strong language.

Get ready to squirm, the above video (it kicks off at 3.30) shows what happened when a moth flew into a man's ear.

The man, referred to as Mikey in the YouTube clip, tells his friends he can feel the moth "running" in his head.

Panic ensues, with the Mikey's friends shrieking really helpful statements like "oh my god, I'm gonna throw up."

Things go from bad to worse when the group notice the moth isn't alone in Mickey's ear - there's a tick buried in his ear canal too.

The group of mates redeem themselves when someone finds a pair of tweezers. They all gather round a terrified Mickey and successfully extract the tick and the wriggling moth.

The moth in question turns out to be over an inch long.

Grim.

Eight Bugs You Don't Know You're Eating

Aphids(01 of08)

If you thought aphids were only a threat to your tulips and roses, think again. The number of whole aphids that the FDA deems permissible varies from vegetable to vegetable. On the low end, you can expect about 30 whole aphids/100 grams in Brussels sprouts and about 60 of the little buggers in frozen broccoli. (credit:Shutterstock)

Thrips(02 of08)

Also known as thunderblights or corn lice, thrips are winged pests and are about a millimetre in length. They feed by sucking out the nutrients in the vegetables you'd find in a frozen vegetable mixture. You can expect to find no more than 50 of them in every 100 grams of canned or frozen spinach or in a package of sauerkraut.(Photo courtesy of Flickr/ jeans_Photos) (credit:Flickr: jeans_Photos)

Mites(03 of08)

There's a good chance that you'll be able to spot if your food is laced with velvet mites since they're bright red (see photo), but you might have trouble with their cousin, the white mite. The white mite can often be found in grains, but has also been known to make its way into frozen vegetables too. Expect to find no more than 75 of them in your canned mushrooms.

Maggots(04 of08)

Unless you're a Casu marzu connoisseur, the thought of maggots in your food is enough to make you throw up. If so, you'd best pass up canned mushrooms, which allow 20 maggots for every 100 grams of drained mushrooms, according to FDA standards. (credit:Shutterstock)

Fruit Flies(05 of08)

There's a good chance you've seen a fruit fly before, buzzing around a fruit basket or a wine glass left out too long. There's also a good chance that you've been ingesting these flies with your fruit juice, since there's about five flies in every 1 cup of juice. (credit:Shutterstock)

Cowpea Curculio(06 of08)

If you've ever wanted a reason to buy dried black-eyed peas instead of the canned variety, thank the Cowpea curculio. It's a type of larva that eventually grows into a small brown weevil, and there's about five of them in every can of peas. (credit:Shutterstock)

Caterpillars(07 of08)

You'd think it would be hard to miss out on something like a caterpillar in your food, but just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. Such is the case with spinach, which can be dotted with caterpillar larvae and larval fragments. (credit:Shutterstock)

Corn Ear Worm(08 of08)

The next time you're shucking corn, keep an eye out for the corn ear worm, which fortunately doesn't go for the kernel, but rather, the silk in the husk. You'll also want to double-check canned corn since these worms tend to leave traces of their skin and larvae where ever they go.
