Doctor finds spiders in boy's ear Sun May 6, 6:18 PM ET



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.

haha...i wonder what kind they were, harmless to humans obviously (unless he just got lucky and wasn't bitten...but naturallt the deadly spiders in the US (black widow and brown recluse) are web laying spiders....a brown recluse would be more likely to get in an ear and stay....but what i think is funny is that there were two spiders

maybe the snap. crackle. pop. was the two spiders getting it on hahaha:D

Actually I don't think we swallow four spiders a year but probably more like a few in a lifetime. *ack ack*
