Warm and dry home with laid on tucker - for cockroaches!

Ear Suction Hawkes Bay

"I wouldn’t be surprised if you found a cockroach in my ear", I said to Anne at the start of my consultation. Two years previously we had stayed in a motel in the South Island where there were lots of cockroaches running around. I woke one morning with a recollection that a cockroach had crawled into my ear during the night but dismissed my fears on the grounds that I was just dreaming.

Fortunately it wasn’t like an alien movie where it grew to extra large size and started to eat my brain or something and I forgot all about it as it was not causing any pain or discomfort. However, when I went to see Anne for my microsuction treatment some while later, much to my surprise Anne pulled out the body of a cockroach! I guess I didn’t dream it after all! So Anne can not only remove your earwax but large insects too!
