How Can An Earwig Bite Be Treated?
This is very embarrassing but earwig bite on that area down there (VJ) serious? I sat down on the toilet to go #1, there was nothing in the toilet bowl though I just glimpsed at it. I do my thing wiped with a wad of tissue an got up and turned around and there was an earwig floating in the toilet bowl. i don t know if it was already in the bowl or if it was on the back of the tissue and I don t notice when I waded it up? I don t even know if it bit me? But if it did is it anything serious?

Earwigs are not a poisonous insect. their bite can be painful but not cause any damage. You have nothing to worry about.
