I was watching the news this morning and an item came on about a woman who had a spider - complete with web and all - inside her ear canal. I let out a gut-wrenching scream and continued to watch [as you do]. It’s like an arachnaphobics worst nightmare!
I have one thing to say - DEAR GOD NOOOOO! :eek:
ohgodohgodohgod…
I’m just going to convince myself it’s not actually true. I don’t care if there’s video (though thank gods it’s not available on that link!) of it, I’m going right into deep denial here.
Well that’s gross.
I knew I shouldn’t have opened this thread.
I have a theory about this. My theory is that the story’s bullshit. I mean, come on - a spider living in her ear?? Yeah right.
Well, this news site has the story with a photo…
Ashy shivers
I won’t be sleeping tonight! No sir! -WIDE AWAKE- now!
That’s just too weird! What would the spider live on? Erm…were there other bugs living nearby? Oh God— I must not think about these things!<shudder>
I’m not entirely convinced it’s not bullshit, even with the news photo.
But still…:eek: :eek: :eek:!
Now see? THAT is why I am addicted to q-tips.
: shudder :
What, you haven’t heard the story about the guy that gets cockroaches in his head cause the eggs were on his q-tips? 
Another great reason to sleep with earplugs in…
I guess you guys don’t want to know that its fairly common (or not totally unheard of in the medical field) for cockroaches to crawl into the ear and get stuck.
mmm evil deed of the day done.
I’m not to sure about that, lets say you have
a spider in your ear, you shove in a Q-tip
and feel a tickle (as it goes deeper into your
ear) then you hear the crunch of its exoskeleton
as you start to twist away -NOW WHAT- Now you
not only have a spider in your ear you have a DEAD
spider in your ear, charming no?
…and what if the spider decides to lay it’s eggs in there and a few weeks later you have hundreds of baby spiders swarming out of your ear and onto your face? Hmm?
gags
uggh! The worst case of bug willies I’ve ever gotten from the 'net…
runs out of thread screaming & gouging at his ears
Not only is my theory on shakey ground now, but I will be seeing that photo in my mind’s eye as I stare at the ceiling all night :eek:
Yeah, I looked at the Skynews article & picture earlier today, and you know, I really shouldn’t have.
<<shudder>>
What’s to stop them from crawling in yer nose? :eek:
dons balaclava and hits the sack
