"A woman who went to China's Changsha Central Hospital complaining of itching in the left side of her head was told by doctors that the source of irritation was a spider that had been living inside her ear canal for five days.
Doctors reportedly used a saline solution to flush out the spider in order to avoid having the spider burrow deeper inside the canal or bite her.
The flushing technique was successful and the woman reportedly wept with gratitude after being told the spider was removed. Doctors say they believe the spider entered the woman's home while the home was undergoing renovations, and crawled into her ear while she was sleeping.
A report by CNN states that spiders and other bugs are appearing in greater numbers this summer due to warm weather and drought conditions across the U.S.
"All insects are cold-blooded, so in extreme heat they develop quicker, which results in more generations popping up now compared to previous summers," Jim Fredericks, an entomologist and wildlife ecology expert with the National Pest Management Association, told the network."

I remember being scared of things crawling into my ear when I was sleeping back when I was little and read those animorphs books.

Eww I disagree, poor woman. I'd freak out, I dont mind spiders so much anymore but STAY AWAY FROM MY FACE AND EARS! Thats so disgusting and it could have really hurt her, I'm glad shes ok.

Yeah, I think I'd just about die if someone discovered there was anything living in my ear, let alone a spider fffffgsfds.

*gives a package of earplugs*

Ive been using earplugs for months now because ive started to become very prone to waking up to even just my rat scurring from one floor of her cage to the next or to her thumping her foot against whatever she's sitting on while she scratches an itchy spot. Im glad they double as bug-barricades, im already paranoid enough about small insects and arachnids, i dont need my paranoia to progress any further then it has.
