Shelob's New Lair

Now I usually have a pretty strong stomach for gross stories, but this one really creeps me out.

A woman in Sweden had a "thumbnail" sized spider living in her ear!

The woman concerned told Swedish tabloid Expressen that she began to experience "a slight loss of hearing" and assumed that she had a build-up of wax.

When she then heard "a scratching sound" in her ear she decided to buy a cleanser to wash out her ear cavity.

When she did so, the spider was flushed out alive and crawled away.

The woman remembered seeing a spider on her bed in November, 27 days earlier.

Umm. If I see a spider in my bed my first instinct is capture it in a cup, toss it in the toilet and flush. Maybe that makes me a "mean old meany" but here's a perfect example of what taking a sensitive approach towards uninvited arachnids can get you.
