Also something you don't see is all the chemicals slathered on to kill
the worms...


Actually, core ear worms have developed resistence to most pesticides. However,
chemical methods do seem to work (e.g. a drop of mineral oil on the ear bud
suffocates them) and integrated pest management (IPM) techniques developed back
in the 80's have also shown good results.
