seriously. Oh my word!!
In a short clinical report published in this week's issue, doctors in Tainan City, Taiwan, detail the case of a 64-year-old woman who sought care at an otolaryngology (ENT) clinic. She came in complaining of having an incessant ruckus in her left ear for the previous four days. On the first day of symptoms, the woman said she was awoken by a feeling of a wee creature crawling in her ear canal. That feeling was then followed by days of clicking, beating, and rustling noises.
It didn’t take long to find the problem; in a physical exam, the doctors easily spotted the itsy-bitsy arachnid moving about its cozy new shelter. And it wasn't exactly alone. During its four-day stay, it apparently molted, leaving an exuvia (its shed exoskeleton) in the canal as well.
Video of the creepy crawler shows it darting around the canal, just in front of the eardrum. When it spots the medical probe nearing, the spider comes in for a closer look, facing the camera directly for a perfect view of its eyes.
