12. According to legend ...

...earwigs, those nasty things, would get into ears of sleeping people and eat their way through brains or maybe lay eggs in there and then the larva would eat the brains. I think there was a really creepy "Night Gallery" episode about that.

But I guess humans are lucky that we don't get ear lice like cats do.

If you want to have truly gruesome nightmares, read up on river blindness (worms swim through your eyeballs!!), filariasis and the Guinea dragon worm (think John Hurt's big scene in "Alien").
