| | Oh my stars, I have tinnitus and I *SO* did not need to read this story! Doctor finds spiders in ear of boy with earache - CNN.com
Okay, I rarely have pops, mine's a hum, but ew, ew, ew! Quote:
What began as a faint popping in a 9-year-old boy's ear -- "like Rice Krispies" -- ended up as an earache, and the doctor's diagnosis was that a pair of spiders made a home in the ear.
"They were walking on my eardrums," Jesse Courtney said.

| | This happened to my cousin. She said she could hear the spider's heartbeat in her ear. She saved the spider too, and it was not nearly as small as you would think it would have to be. Just thinking about it totally skeeves me out. I hate spiders.

| | in Italy there is a way to say (gross, vulgar, coarse, in order to say the true)
in provincial language of Rome, that one refers to the fact that if a girl has the cloth of the spider in.....  ehem... cough cough..... wants to say that it is often not met with the boys
I do not know if it is understood |

| | No lie when I was in college one of my roommates got a beetle in her ear. She had to be rushed to a big hospital to have it removed. The local one did have the facilities. They wound up killing the beetle, but her ear was too inflamed to remove the bug. They had to wait a week. She was so grossed out.
