KANSAS CITY, Kansas (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - A Kansas woman went to see a doctor because she thought she had water in her ear. Imagine her shock when doctors pulled out a brown recluse spider!

 

According to MySunCoast.com, Susie Torres said she had a constant "swishing" sound in her ear that wouldn't go away. Torres went to see a doctor about her condition.

 

As she got her ear examined, a medical assistant ended up finding a brown recluse spider right inside Torres' ear.

 

“Just, why? Where? What and how?" Torres told MySunCoast.com. "Never thought that they would crawl in your ear or any part of your body."

Fortunately, Torres did not get bitten by the eight-legged intruder.

 

Brown recluse spiders are venomous. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if someone is bitten by a brown recluse, the bites can result in chills, fever, sweating and nausea. The venom can also destroy skin tissue around the bite.

 

As for Torres, she's taking extra precautions while she sleeps.“I went and put some cotton balls in my ears last night because I didn’t have any ear plugs,” Torres said.

Isaiah 33:24  "And no resident will say: “I am sick.”

I think that's a Grass Spider..harmless, and they love to live in bushes too!

Thanks. I was wondering what kind it was. That makes sense because it was by my hedges.

The Hebrew word cushi or kushi is an affectionate term generally used in the Bible to refer to a dark-skinned person of African descent.

I have a better relationship with snakes than spiders, as long as they don't come inside.

I absolutely love snakes. I’ve had dozens of them as pets. I’ve had pythons, boas, king snakes, rat snakes venomous etc. I’ve had em all.

Yeah, I think they are neat. I asked to hold one at a local pet store years ago. It was cool 🙂

Why are people afraid of something so small?

Because they can still cause us a lot of damage/death.

Oh, all the creatures that roam in and out of our openings, mostly while we sleep...

I assume you're referring to the study that "found" we swallow an average of 12 spiders a year while sleeping? If so, I looked into that years ago (there's a Snopes article about it I think) and it turns out that was a made up statistic in an experiment to prove that people on the internet will believe anything. The experiment succeeded.

 

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if that DOES happen in certain parts of the world.

Spiders don’t. They don’t approach us while we sleep since we kind of vibrate in a, for spiders, rather unpleasant way. We breathe, our heart beats, we might snore. But other creatures seem to be less worried about such things.

He lights up my path.

Read an article somewhere stating that spiders tune their webs like we would tune a guitar. Pulls some more taut than others so it can feel the different vibrations and tell if they want to go eat the trapped insect or not.
I had a spider in my yard one time that had a web, I threw some crushed Doritos in the web at night, in the morning all the Doritos would be laying on the ground.

Sounds like the spider was rather health conscious!
