Today’s Weather Trivia:
10 July 2006: Warm, humid weather and increased rainfall across Prince Edward Island caused an earwig explosion. The pincher-like creatures are named for the superstition that they crawl into the ears of sleeping people and bore into their brain. Actually, they are harmless. Insecticidal soaps and wrapping duct tape, sticky side out, around a house foundation (an old Red Green trick) get rid of them. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
