    Doctor finds spiders in boy's ear

    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.

    Wow !!!

    I've heard of people swallowing spiders whilst they sleep and stuff, but nothing like this!

    I wanted to see a picture of them though, hehe.

    Gahhhh this story makes me die inside.

    I hate spiders so so much and every time an urban legend about them is proved true, I want to rock in a corner and cry.

    Gotta admire the kid's attitude about it.  "What next?  Elephants in my BUTT?!" (checks butt)

    I would be convinced there were eggs in there just waiting to hatch.

    Me too !

    We were watching a programme on TV this morning about spiders and their offsrping. Sometimes there are LOADS!

    I'm scared now, I might ask the nurse at work to irrigate my ears when I go back next week.  :lol:

    Umm, ok.  How dirty does your house have to be, for not one, BUT TWO spiders to crawl into your child's ear, and no one know about it for who knows how long (until he complains of snap, crackle, popping in his ears)?!!!

    Re: Doctor finds spiders in boy's ear

    This happened here in Oregon. They went to the doctor the same day as Spiderman 3 came out! The kid is into Spiderman big time and likes spiders. (Thank God he wasn't scared of em huh?!). The news here said the nurse flushed his ear not the doctor, funny how things get twisted in the media. He is a media sensation now, and is scheduled to do all sorts of news programs and even is going to be on Ellen! If it were me, they would be scheduling an appointment at the psych ward, not on TV!

    He had been gardening with his mom recently so I don't think it has anything to do with a clean home. We have a lot of spiders, cause we have a lot of trees here. Where he lives it is a small town surrounded by rural areas. It's about 45 minutes from me.

    I HATE SPIDERS!
