A woman woke up from taking a nap and found that there was a tingling in her ear and a terrible headache. Both she and her daughter tried to discover what the problem was to no avail, so they went to the doctor for treatment. The moment they shone a light in Lekshmi L’s ear they saw something move. Soon they saw what was causing her pain. It was a live spider that must have crawled into her ear while she slept.
When the discomfort turned into debilitating pain, her husband rushed her to the Columbia Asia Hospital in Hebbal, India.
At the hospital, the doctor was shocked to see a live spider inside the woman’s ear.
The spider slowly moved out after doctors shined a light over Lekshmi’s ear in a bid to get it out.

Dr. Santosh Shivaswamy, Consultant ENT at Columbia Hospital, who treated the woman, said, ‘It is common to see emergency room visits due to the presence a foreign object in the ear and it takes a simple procedure to remove the object.
‘However, when a living insect makes its way inside a human ear, the patient’s anxiety makes it difficult to continue the procedure. It was a rare to see a live spider moving inside someone’s ear canal.’
‘I was terrified as I could feel movement of a creature in my ear. The acute earache followed by sharp pains suffocated me. I couldn’t think of anything and was petrified when the doctor confirmed presence of a spider in my ear,’ Lekshmi said.
