SPIDER IN WOMAN'S EAR

A woman went to her doctor complaining of headaches - and was told there was a spider living her ear.


The arachnid had even spun a web in the woman's ear canal during its brief stay.

The 33-year-old, from Athens, felt a sharp pain in her ear while out riding a motorbike.

Perfect temperature

She went to her doctor who after a brief examination broke the astonishing news, Greek television station Private Star reported.

Dr Evangelos Gollas said: "When I examined the patient, I was surprised to find a spider's web and then, I saw there was movement.

"The spider found itself in her ear, and because the temperature is ideal there, it stayed."

The woman did not need to surgery to remove the spider and was not injured.

That would be pretty icky. I had a prof in college who lived in the rain forest in Costa Rica for 15+ years. One night she and a guy she was researching with set up a mesh screen tent at night. They shined lights up to attract bugs and record data of some sort from under the mesh. But some sort of beetle got through and climbed into the guy's ear. It started chewing at his ear drum. They were trying to stab him out with a pen (they didn't have a tweezers on them at that point) but the more the stabbed at it the more it bit.

So finally they got back to where they were staying and they poured candle wax in his ear and got the whole mess out with a pen and a tweezer...but he couldn't hear in that ear anymore.

I don't think I could handle that. lol

I have some cd's of really horrid medical pictures from last semester (I'm in nursing school). One of them is a cross section of a leg dissected out in layers. Normally it seems like those pics are of cadaver tissue but this leg is hairy and bloody. It's on a disk though and I can't get it to save....I wish I could because I'd send that one to a couple of coworkers who have weak tummies. Then I'd laugh at them.

Don't laugh, but isn't it true that the average person swallows so many (5?) Spiders/year in their sleep? Has anyone else heard this, or was this just crap?
