* In a bit of a twist, through the mouth is the ''more pleasant'' way for a [[Stargate SG-1|Goa'uld]] symbiote to enter a human host: Goa'uld normally enter through the neck, not wishing to see the expression on their future host's face. Only the Tok'ra, a [[Defector From Decadence|breakaway group]] who only accept voluntary hosts, normally enter through the mouth. |

* The creature that inhabits Helen Magnus of [[Sanctuary|Sanctuary]] has a parasite exit through her ear canal {{spoiler|after she dies}}. Based on the dialogue, it got in through her pores. |

* A classic ''[[Night Gallery]]'' episode has a man hiring someone to do away with a rival by planting an earwig in his ear at night, where it will crawl into his head, constantly eating (see "Real Life" below) -- in a karmic slip-up he gets it planted in himself. In a million-to-one fluke, he survives weeks of agony when it crawls out his other ear. With the boldness of one who's been through Hell he owns up to his deed and claims he'd do it again...{{spoiler|then he finds out the earwig was an egg-laying female.}} |

** Generalizations about the candiru's hunting methods rest on very little evidence, as there has been precisely one documented case of a human attack, in 1997. In particular, it is not chemically sensitive to either ammonia (excreted by fish) or urea (by humans). |
