Oh, dude, earwigs are more into hanging out in dark, damp places like under rocks or in your garden rather than setting up shop inside your body.

Can earwigs go into a humans brain?
Earwig is derived from Old English ?are "ear" and wicga, 'insect'. (Wicga is in turn related to wiggle, and ultimately to other words implying movement, including way and vehicle, all from PIE wegh-.) The name comes from the old wives' tale that earwigs burrow into the brains of humans through the ear and therein lay their eggs. Earwigs are omnivores that are evolutionarily predisposed to hiding in warm humid crevices and as such one may crawl into a human ear canal. This is not, however, a location where they are frequently found. In short, it is extremely unlikely for an earwig to burrow into a brain. No more so likely than any other insect doing so.
