Woman’s Big Surprise – Spider Finds New Home
In a bizarre incident, a woman in Taiwan discovered she was playing host to an uninvited visitor in her ear canal. The 64-year-old resident of Kaohsiung City had been hearing clicking and rustling sounds in her ear for several days before she sought medical attention. What her doctors found left them all dumbstruck.
After examining the woman’s ear, the doctors discovered a small spider who had decided to make a new home in the cramped quarters of the woman’s ear canal. Now, we all love surprises but this was not one the woman was likely to enjoy. We cannot even begin to imagine what a shock it must have been for the woman to learn that there was a creepy eight-legged creature residing inside her ear!
The doctors removed the tiny intruder using a pair of tweezers, which reportedly took them about five minutes, and the woman was fortunately left unharmed. The spider, on the other hand, must have been pretty disappointed to lose that cozy ear canal home.
It begs the question: what would have been the outcome if the spider wasn’t removed? Would the woman have started purring like a cat with all that rustling, clicking and creepy-crawly feeling in her ear? Would she have developed arachnophobia due to the constant presence of the spider? Maybe the spider and the woman would have become best friends, and she would have started styling her hair to match the spider’s hairy legs?
While no one can be certain what the future would have held for this unlikely pair, it’s safe to say that the woman is probably relieved to have the spider removed from her ear. After all, an ear is no place for a spider to call home, even a small one.
One question remains for the spider enthusiasts in the audience: how did the spider get inside the woman’s ear in the first place? Was it a dare from other spiders, a game of hide-and-seek gone wrong, or perhaps an attempt to escape a predator? Whatever the reason, we may never know.
It’s clear that a spider in the ear is not something to be taken lightly, and this incident should serve as a cautionary tale. So, if you experience constant rustling or clicking noises in your ear, don’t just ignore it. You just might have a creepy-crawly roommate like the woman in Taiwan!
