The deer fly were quite bad and while I was vigilantly whisking them off Ruby's head to the best of my abilities, a deer fly did a kamikaze dive straight into my right ear! OUCH! All the way in and buzzing for all it was worth. I, of course, freaked right out and started smacking myself on the right ear trying to kill it since I knew it was too far in to dig out ... while on the trail anyway. Meanwhile, my friend that is riding with me has no idea what happened and is likely thinking I am having some kind of seizure from some medical condition I failed to warn her about! Finally, a few weak feeble buzzings and then all is silent. Of course, it is making me crazy that I now have a bug stuck in my right ear that I can't do anything about! YECK!!!!! I ignore it as best I can for the rest of the ride. When I got back to the trailer, I used a swab to see if I could dislodge it. But, only got a bit of fly blood. I was afraid of trying too hard for fear of driving it right into my brain! (Ok, I know that is exaggerating but.... ) When I got home, I used some ear drop and tried to suction it out with a bulb. No good. The next day it was no better so on the way home from work, despite my embarrassment, I stopped in the ER to see if they could remove it because now I was getting some sharp pains in that ear. After some poorly suppressed giggling from the ER staff. Mostly because they had just removed a LIVE moth from a persons ear 1/2 hr. before I came in and thought it was bizarre to get 2 bug in the ear cases in one morning. The doctor asked me how it happened. I told her the bug flew in while I was riding my mule. "Really," she said, "you were riding a MULE and the bug flew in YOUR ear!?!". (More not so well suppressed giggling!) They irrigated my ear and all that was left of the fly were a few body parts. But, I now have an ear infection I have to take antibiotics for! Stupid Fly!!!!!
