Doctor finds spiders in ear of boy with earache | KOMO-TV – Seattle, Washington | Local & Regional What is weird is that after all this, both mom and son were bragging about this story. YUK!

What can I say. It was in Oregon!

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.

    “the other spider”? this sounds like an urban legend gone crazy

    Yikes, give new meaning to “cobwebs in the head”

    Hopefully spiders haven’t evolved a taste or need for ear wax.

    Is this Martin Lawrence’s kid? Them must have been some big ears.

  4. Angel H. Wong says:

    The kid is blond, that explains the spacy room for the spiders.

    …Angel, you DO always take the oddest angles in ANY, I repete, *ANY* discussion.

    It’s people like you that truly make the world go ’round

    so (going same stereotyping way as you just did) do you, Angel H. WONG, do you have a big front buckteeth and almost invisible slant eyes?
