00:00This is not the expected surprise brought by Tame for her 14th birthday.
00:15While she was sleeping soundly in their house, in Alicia Zamboanga Cebugay,
00:21someone suddenly sneezed and sneezed in her ear.
00:27Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! It really hurts! Ouch! Ouch!
00:33She screamed. Her ear hurt. Someone came in.
00:36Ouch! It hurts! My ear hurts!
00:38What happened to you?
00:39She said, it's okay. It hurts. Help me.
00:42She was crying. She was crying.
00:44Mom, it's okay. It's okay.
00:46Mom! Mom!
00:47It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
00:48Her grandfather immediately called Javier, their neighbor.
00:53He was covering her ears while she was crying and screaming.
00:56He said, it hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
01:00I peeped into her ear. I didn't see anything.
01:04We put a baby oil. We put it on.
01:06A few minutes passed.
01:09Something came out.
01:10They were shocked when they saw what came into her ear.
01:19A cockroach.
01:21The cockroach not only came into Tame's ear,
01:24but it also had an egg inside.
01:29Is that an egg?
01:30It's white. The shell of my body is transparent.
01:35A baby cockroach.
01:39They were shocked when they saw it.
01:43Cockroach!
01:45What if one of them came into our ear?
01:51Javier tried to trick her.
01:54I told her, Tame, don't move.
01:56Because if you move, your ear might get hurt.
02:02I held Tame's foot.
02:03She said, please help. Please help.
02:06Tame turned around.
02:08When I slowly pulled and pulled,
02:10Tame started crying.
02:13But when Javier pinched the cockroach,
02:21its body split in half.
02:26I thought the whole body would come together.
02:29What came with it
02:33was the shell and the whole egg.
02:36Until they noticed that the white eggs of the cockroach spread
02:41and the shell was left inside Tame's ear.
02:46Oh no!
02:50I was also scared. I told her, Tame might get angry.
02:54How do you feel?
02:56I told her, Tame, your ear is still hurting.
03:00That's why Javier carefully pinched the remaining half of the cockroach's body.
03:05He kept pinching the cockroach until it was completely removed.
03:13I couldn't explain to myself what I felt.
03:17Because the cockroach was too big to fit in her ear.
03:20Tame,
03:21Tame,
03:22the cockroach that went inside her ear,
03:24the cockroach that went inside her ear,
03:26was half an inch long
03:30and one-fourth inch wide.
03:33I saw it, sir.
03:34I was shocked.
03:35I was also crying.
03:36I told Javier to help me.
03:38Javier told me to help him.
03:39I was also scared.
03:40Tame's ear was bleeding.
03:42Tame's mother pinched the cockroach
03:44from the nail that they use to make cockroaches.
03:49It came from outside.
03:50It came inside our house.
03:51The nail came from outside.
03:54According to an entomologist,
03:56or an insect expert,
03:58the cockroach that went inside Tame's ear
04:00is not the typical cockroach that we see in our houses.
04:05It's the Pycnocilus indicus
04:08or burrowing cockroach.
04:10It's the kind of cockroach that really likes to peck.
04:14These cockroaches live on rough and flat land
04:18or even in trash.
04:20These cockroaches can also hunt.
04:23At night, they will go out and actively hunt.
04:27When they're pecking,
04:29because of the small opening,
04:31there's a tendency for the tissue to get wounded in the child's ear.
04:35Because the legs of the cockroaches have spines,
04:38it can cause irritation and bleeding.
04:42And what they call an egg of a cockroach,
04:46turned out to be a sperm.
04:47Or a small cockroach
04:50that's the child of a cockroach that went inside Tame's ear.
04:54Oh my!
04:56Meanwhile, two days after the incident,
04:59I told Tame,
05:00Is your ear still hurting?
05:01Tame said,
05:02Yes, it still hurts.
05:04I also gave him an amoxicillin.
05:06I gave him half a glass of it.
05:09That's why Tame was also checked by our team.
05:13When I looked at the patient's ear,
05:15there was no cockroach inside,
05:17but there was one cockroach leg left.
05:20His eardrum was intact.
05:22There were some blood clots that I also cleaned.
05:25Cockroaches usually like dark places,
05:28and they usually crawl on the walls.
05:30So, I would suggest that it should always be cleaned.
05:34We gave him back the cockroach leg.
05:37I told him to sleep.
05:38What's that in your ear?
05:40Cover it with a towel.
05:41So that it won't crawl,
05:44it should fly
05:45and enter our ears.
05:49That's why
05:54our surroundings should always be clean.
