Susie Torres went to a Missouri doctor complaining of water in her ear, but she was shocked to learn that she actually had a highly venomous brown recluse spider inside her ear.
Torres thought the discomfort in her left ear was being caused by some water. But when she went to a clinic in Kansas City to have it looked at she started to worry when the medical assistant expressed concern. Torres said:
“She ran out and said I’m going to get a couple more people, I think you have an insect in there.”

Torres said she was even more shocked when the nurse came back in a few minutes later, saying:
“She came back in and told me it was a spider. They had a few tools and worked their magic and got it out.”
Doctors informed Torres that she had a brown recluse spider in her ear, which is a highly venomous species. Thankfully, the spider hadn’t bitten the inside of her ear. Torres added:
“I never thought they would crawl in your ear or any part of your body.”
RELATED STORY:
Torres said from now on she is going to take some serious precautions while sleeping, adding:
“I went and put some cotton balls in my ear last night, because I did not have any ear plugs. I’m pretty terrified of spiders.”
Doctors in Vietnam recently treated a patient who came in with a similar complaint in June. When they looked inside the patient’s ear at the clinic in Hai Duong they found a spider nesting inside. They were finally able to lure the spider out using a light.
