Mum Terrified After Discovering A Spider Has Caused Her Itchy Ear

Spider bite causes itchy ear in a woman.

A mother was left terrified after discovering that the unusually itchy ear she felt�one day turned out to be everyone’s nightmare.

Mother-of-two, Angela Colborn�had just walked her nine-year-old daughter to school on an overgrown path last week when she felt sheer panic a few hours later after she felt�something ‘wriggling’ in her ear,�The Sunreports.

Suffering from an itchy ear, followed by a swollen face, Angela�went to the emergency room of a hospital the next day and was shocked after a doctor peered into her ear canal and saw the spindly legs of a spider.�”It was like a horror film had become real,” she told The Sun.

She said she was “being driven crazy”‘ by the “noise and sensation” of “the spider” in her ear.�”I had a meltdown when the nurse said she couldn’t see anything.�I was going mad and banging my feet against the bed.�Then a doctor came in and laid me down to have another look and that’s when he found it – I just told him to get it out,” Angela said.

However, the spider�was�”lodged too deep” in her ear to be grabbed using forceps, so her ear was flooded with oil for 15 minutes to drown the critter.

Thankfully, the spider was successfully taken out of Angela’s ear, but Angela says she may not be able to shake the experience off completely anytime soon.

Now, she�said she has become a bit paranoid after the incident (who wouldn’t?) as she thoroughly checks her bed and pillow before going to sleep every night and�has taken to wearing a hoodie outside.

Bet you would too, if you were her.
