As long as you do not touch the earwig the earwig bug is not a dangerous bug.

The earwig does have the ability to pinch and bite you and cause some pain if you touch them but the earwig is not venomous or poisonous.

The worst thing that would happen if you got pinched or bit by an earwig is suffer from some pain for a little while.

You might also bleed a little but there's no medical attention needed if you did get hurt by an earwig.

Earwigs look like dangerous bugs but to humans the earwig is harmless and will leave you alone as long as you leave the earwig alone.

If you do need to or want to pick up an earwig make sure to wear some good gloves so that you don't get pinched or bitten by the earwig.

If not then it's best to just leave the earwig alone.
