About Ear tickle bugs
Ear Tickle Bugs are tiny, friendly insects that resemble ladybugs. They feed on dead skin cells inside the ear, causing a tickling sensation. Despite their name, they're not dangerous or parasitic. They lay eggs inside mammal ears, and the newborns continue the cycle of eating dead skin cells and ear debris. They can be found alone or in small swarms, and are generally docile and tame.
