GROSS! Oh, man. What kind of place do they live where there's enough spiders to want to crawl in there in the first place?

That happened to me... sort of. As a curious child of 10 (yes, I was his age), I was in a doctor's office exploring. Looking in the fake trees, that type thing. Turns out a small beetle crawled in and chilled til I got home. Then, I had the worst earache ever. I was calling for help and flailing so no one could get to me. My mom said it sounded like I was being raped or something. I was given drops which eventually killed it. The immence pain was actually the bug trying to burrow through the eardrum, using its jaw to bite through. I only discovered this after the doctor pulled out the "dried blood" later to be classified as shell parts. So I know why he's so happy: the pain is gone and he has a cool story to tell to his friends.

Or it's just morbid glee and he wants to gloat ;) Though if that ever happened to my nephew he'd be traumatised for life as he's unreasonably scared of the smallest spider - and fear of spiders is valid but this is the kid who is scared of drinking milk and is scared of cheese.

I actually got a little flying bug in my ear once as a kid. I was in the garden with my mom when I heard buzzing around my ear and smacked at it. The buzzing suddenly got a hell of a lot louder and I freaked out to the point mom took me to the emergency room. A panic attack and ear flush later the very amused doctor had a little gnat or something.

I just can’t imagine spiders though, and that there were two of them…. Ew. That implies they were looking for a place for some spidery love. I want nothing breeding in my body cavities, thankyouverymuch!

:shifty Guess you have Angel for that :P

But yeah, honestly said, I don't believe that kid. Probably just wanted to et some attention. We are 'attacked' by several kinds of insects (like flies drinking the saliva we produce while sleeping during night :shifty), but we ain't exactly a great habitate for any living thing (gets even worse with a lack in he hygienic department...). That's why parasites needed millions of years to adapt to us, spiders, well, they never did :shrug

But were the spiders removed before or after they ate the earwig?

Wait,
what happened?
When I clicked on the link it didn't show up.

"Don't walk in my footsteps. I walk into walls."
"Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door."
"Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get suked into jet engines."

Didnt show up for me either.
But the page does clearly state:

"The page you requested cannot be found. The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

oh,
ok.
I never really read what it says,
I just know that the page isn't working.
"Don't walk in my footsteps. I walk into walls."
"Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door."
"Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get suked into jet engines."
