Weird news: Teen discovers that he has cockroaches inside the ear

From time to time, children are warned to wash up before they have their food, else they would develop insects inside their body. And for horror movies, a typical scene is that of creatures (from this world or aliens) invading the human body and growing inside the body until they are ready to come out and destroy the body while doing this.
So, if somebody says that they have cockroaches growing inside their body, it would be hard for anybody to believe this. After all, how would the growing cockroaches or the eggs end up inside the human body and how could they grow ? And how could 26 cockroaches end up inside the body ? (Link to article)

A 19-year-old, who went to his doctor complaining of a ear ache, was horrified when he was told that 26 cockroaches were living inside his ear. Li, 19, recalled that he woke up in the middle of the night with an unbearable itch in his ear that grew increasingly painful, reports news.com.au. In desperation, he stuck a finger in his ear and felt a sensation deep inside. However, his room mate found no trace of anything unusual. The next day, Li visited the hospital, where doctors performed an endoscopy and found his ear was packed with cockroaches. A female cockroach had been living in Li’s ear canal for weeks and had laid eggs.
