Happy Face 29 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 We've all heard the one about people eating a spider while they sleep or creepy-crawlies going somewhere they shouldn't while we snooze - but for one poor woman the urban legend has come true. She arrived at China's Changsha Central Hospital with an itchy ear, only to learn the cause was a spider that had crawled into the ear canal. To make things worse, doctors believe the arachnid had been in there for five days. Fortunately for the woman, there was some good news - doctors told her the problem would have been far worse if she had tried to scratch it. At first the medics planned to use tweezers to grab the spider and pull it out - but they were worried that creature might bite the patient. Instead, Dr Liu Sheng and his colleagues poured a saline solution into the ear and waited for the spider to leave on its own. Fingers crossed it didn't lay any eggs...

Monkeys Fist 41272 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 My cousin, fuck knows how,had some kind of caterpillar type grub in his ear for a couple of days when we were about 12. We all thought it was a hoot, (except him),it'd crawl into view, you'd try to grab it with tweezers, and it would scuttle back round the bend and munch on a bit wax. He said the worst thing was at night, lying in bed, he could hear nothing but it , crawling about inside his head, chewing on his earwax. *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a proper phobia, it doesn't even register as regular fear its a completely different feeling. Little bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveTheBobby 1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 What, this thing? No I meant this crazy critter . Botfly larvae. As utterly ghoulish as they are they actually have a fascinating and ingenious life cycle. Up there with those rediculous tongue parasites that get into fish's mouths .

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 My mam and dad were on holiday in Minorca one year when my mam woke up and couldn't open one of her eyes at all. It was glued shut. She tried running it under warm and hot water but nowt would get it open. They were shitting it at this point so rushed out for medical treatment. Bascially, some type of insect had landed on her eye in the middle of the night and layed eggs inside it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
