A New Zealand man was surprised to find a cockroach in his ear, after he went to the doctor after it was blocked for 3 full days.

The man, named Zen Wedding, posted a picture of the cockroach on his hand, commenting: "I went to the doctor last Saturday with a blocked ear. The doctor said he couldn't see anything and it would go away on its own."

And he added in a post to him on his Facebook page, "Today I went to get a second opinion at a different doctor, and a cockroach was removed from my ear after 3 days of its presence...Maybe I should avoid doctors...".

"He felt a pop in his eardrum when he came out," Weeding told the local New Zealand Herald, noting that the doctor told him, "I've never seen this before. I read about it, but I've never seen it."

He added, "She kept saying: Oh my God, when she said that for the first time, I thought I had a tumor," noting that he went swimming and then came to sleep on the sofa, after which he felt a blockage in his ear.
