My worst nightmare...

ALBANY, Ore. - These guys weren’t exactly Snap, Crackle and Pop.

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.

One of the spiders was still alive after the doctor flushed the fourth-grader’s left ear canal. His mother, Diane Courtney, said her son insisted he kept hearing a faint popping in his ear — “like Rice Krispies.”

Dr. David Irvine said it looked like the boy had something in his ear when he examined him.

When he irrigated the ear, the first spider came out, dead. The other spider took a second dousing before it emerged, still alive. Both were about the size of a pencil eraser.

Jesse was given the spiders — now both dead — as a souvenir. He has taken them to school and his mother has taken them to work.

“It was real interesting, ‘cause, two spiders in my ear — what next?” Jesse said.

I read this on another board, and it gave me the heebie jeebies. It's the type of shit that could make you go insane.

This happened to my wife when she was little.

Yuck

Great, I've had popping in my ears for 3 years now. F'n spiders.

You mean it isn't this guy?

Spiders...in your ears.......ACK! Serious heebie jeebies....

Ear irrigation is a crazy thing. I never knew they did that sort of thing until I had to go to the ER once, because I couldn't hear out of one of my ears. It wasn't spiders, but it was still pretty crazy.

yugh

Snake in your trousers?

Ceti eel?

Eww why did I click on this thread. I'm going to be so paranoid now.

I'm sleeping with earplugs in from now on.

That will just trap them in! :eek:

mr bugs worst nightmare is spiders?

When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I did a report on a type of fly that could lay its eggs inside of your ears. Ever since then, flies get nowhere near my ears.

Sleep tight...

Back when I was an intern working the Peds ER, I irrigated a small dead cockroach out of a kid's ear.

This is incredible.

I had some type of bug in my ear at summer camp one year when I was a little kid.

Creeped me out to the point where I try and have my hearing aids in at all times, except when I'm sleeping, on the phone, or bathing.

This thread is filled with a whole lot of things I now wish I didn't know...

So am I the only one who thinks it would be pretty cool if a doctor pulled out a couple of spiders out of my ear?

ugh, im wearing headphones for the rest of my life.

Yes. Fuck yes.

You fool!!!!1!!1111one!!!!1

So tonight a moth flew into my ear, and beat its wings against my eardrum for a while. It's definitely just as creepy as you would imagine, if not 1,000,000 times worse.

I had to go to the ER to get it out. It sucked. And will continue to suck as I pay off the trip.

thats what you get for leaving a light on in your ear.

I once had a bee fly into my mouth while walking home from school in 4th or 5th grade. I spit his ass down a storm drain. That wasn't a fun experience.

I'm amazed it took 16 posts for this to be brought up.

It took 15 days for you to find that out? :eek:

Heh. Funny how you can just miss a thread.

I had a terrible experience with yellow jackets once. I was 5 yrs old outside playing in the sandbox. I got stung twice by a yellow jacket. He got me in the white part of each eye. My eyes swelled shut for the next day.

I was thirteen, and riding my bike to a friend's house. I felt something drop on my head and thought, Dammit, a farging bird just shat on me! I reluctantly reached up onto my head with my left hand, and I'll-be-danged if it warn't a frikkin yellajacket. Stung me in the webby part between me two littlest fingers.


Oh, and today is Wandering Dialect Day!

I think I said this before, but it's worth sayign again.

Spiders and I have an agreement. Seconds after we see one another, one of us dies.




And I'm still alive.
