Doctors Extract Spiders From Boy’s Ear

by

This has to be my ultimate nightmare….

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.”

I think I’m going to hurl…..

  2. Bruce, if you hadn’t included the link, I’d have sworn you were taken in by an urban legend. There is a similar one that is always told about the spider eggs in the hairdo.

  5. Mike, if you really want to be creeped out, go check out the “fatal hairdo” story over at urbanlegends.about.com. That’s the one about the spider eggs. People have such weird imaginations…

  6. Peter, that’s exactly the story I thought about last night when I heard the teaser for this on the news!

    Snakes, lizards, rats, mice, or even most other insects: no problem. Spiders and roaches? I become a total wuss. LOL

  7. My other favorite urban legend is the story that some woman’s best friend’s cousin’s college roomate told about finding some cockroach eggs in the burritos at Taco Bell. Or the person who found a deep-fried rat in their bucket of KFC.

    Speaking of which, what’s for lunch? 😉

  9. Mike, at first I didn’t buy the rat-in-the-bucket-of-chicken story, but that was before the NY Health Department shut down that KFC/Taco Bell with the rat infestation.

    Which is why I eat at Subway now.

  10. Don’t forget that the person eating the deep-fried rat is eating it in a dark movie theater- that way he gets to take a few bites before realizing

    IT’S A RAT!

  13. And I thought the one about the tomato seed growing under dentures that were never taken out and a small plant was growing out of someone’s nose was too much. Well this is WAY to much. Do you think the spiders had sex in the boy’s ear? SHUDDERS.
    Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite.

  15. How about the guy who took a bite of a chicken sandwich at McDonald’s and accidentally bit into a big pus-filled boil on the chicken breast that hadn’t been cooked properly? His first thought was: “I thought I told the guy not to put mayo on this?”

    Don’t worry – urban myth. Never happened. Really.

  16. I was eating at a local restaurant and bit into a finger cot (aka finger condom). Needless to say, I didn’t finish my meal and didn’t pay for it but I did get a coupon for my a free meal on my next visit (which I promptly threw in garbage on the way out). Even while writing this, I shudder.

  17. The thing that’s worse than spiders or roaches are those kids with the skates/sneakers. They always skate between you and what you’re looking at at the store.

    I’d like to stomp those little bastards and the parents that let them do it.

  18. #17 – You could always “clothesline” the little twerps and then explain that they were calling you a faggot, hence (a) it was self-defense and (b) the punks were engaging in a hate crime.

    Hey, if it works for the GayLibLeft, it should work for us, right? 😉

  19. As long as we’re all trying to gross each other out here, I’ll put my 2 cents worth in: never (I mean NEVER) eat raw oysters while you have a real bad cold. How do you know you’re eating an oyster? HA! HA! 🙂

  24. I can just hear TGC saying (in a grumpy old man voice) “You kids stay off my lawn” (but with a few expletives thrown in just for fun).

  25. I can just hear TGC saying (in a grumpy old man voice) “You kids stay off my lawn” (but with a few expletives thrown in just for fun).

    I’m only 33. I don’t care that they have those, they just don’t need to be skating in the grocery store between me and the items I’m shopping for. I’m seriously thinking about tripping the little sh*t next time. Or maybe spilling some CoCo-Puffs.

    I wish they’d been around when I was a kid.

    They were around when I was a kid. I think it was somewhere between ’80-83 or something like that. But I think you’re a tad older than I am.

  26. gross is eating a sandwich and coming up with a hair in your teeth that is curly and pubic and not your hair color or the hair color of your mate……………

    or

    kissing your grandma by and she slips you the tongue…….

    what could be grosser than this…..

    giving it back to her.
