Hello Andy,

Yours is probably the most concise scientific analysis on this matter so far. You have given us a good idea of what it'll take for such to happen and the reason for its impossibilty.

Great contribution Andy, thanks for sharing.
God bless you.

Sam,
I have heard of a person who went insane with a constant irriation in the head. No one would believe it. Upon investigation a nest of ants was found. Don't know if in ear or farther in.

On NPR radio today they told the story I see Sharon related to you about the spiders. He felt a constant popping sound.

Now can we move on to the girl with the golden arm?

LOL..... I find this story amusing....

1st- if an ant was to enter an ear and proceed to chew it's wway into the brain, the boy would have had massive ear aches and a doctor would have been able to see the ant upon examination when the ear aches would not stop.

2nd- Ants may enter ears, but not likely stay, God created ear wax for more than one reason.

3rd-The ear wax in the ears of all animals really stinks to lice, fleas, ants and other critters....LOL that is why fleaas and lice may bother your pets outer ear area's but are never found deep inside any ear.

4th- if you beleive this story...... then you will also believe I was an ant in a past life and I can tell you from experience that number three is so true..... ear wax stinks..... PLUS it is so sticky to tiny feet of insects that they get stuck before they get to the ear drum anyways....LOL
