That's fucking sick!

...... Those poor spiders.

That happened to me before! Except it wasn't spiders, it was a White Sock (a type of fly).

*shudders*

Not as uncommon as you might think - silverfish get into kids ears all the time where they're common.

Ants too - kids lay down on the grass.

I wondered why this made such a story.

Now, if the spiders had laid eggs, and the crackling was the sound of the eggs growing, and the doctor said we'd have to wait for the eggs to hatch, or they hatched and cut through his eardrum or something... that'd be awful enough for print.

AAAAH AAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

What about all the bugs that infest your body every single day? There's piles of 'em. There's a centipede-like one that burrows into your eyebrow pores, and leaves it's butt in the air for breathing and to poop. It survives on eating you - it's a parasite. Just about everyone has 'em. Some people have three or more in each eyebrow pore.

Next time you wipe that morning crud out of your eyes, stop and think where it might have come from.

Oh, and what about the billions of mites that live in your bed? You think they don't get out and harvest your skin flakes? That you don't inhale them? That they don't crawl all over your body while you rest on their home?

Bugs are all over you. Every bit of you. They infest you. They crawl all over you, and not even a good scrubbing cleans them all off.

So what's a couple spiders?

I just don't understand why Rice Krispies doesn't leap on this as a marketing opportunity.

My Rice Krispies sound like spiders.

I hate you all.

But those tiny bugs are largely unnoticed and not visable to the human eye. They also don't seem to cause any damage. But something as large as a spider living in one's head is something else. Something terrible. It just doesn't belong.

We're allergic to dust because humans tend to be allergic to dust mite feces.

well...it takes less time for a couple of spiders to fill your hearing hole, for one.

Yeah, that was actually my first thought when I started reading the article. Bugs in ears in itself isn't that bad, especially when they haven't bitten.

Could be worse. It could have been the new spider they discovered in Africa, the foot-wide Chicken Eating Spider.

Or it could have been the spider in the new French anti-AIDS advertisements (NSFW). Although some people wouldn't mind an infestation of arachnids like those...

Wouldn't have sounded like Rice Krispies, though. Woulda sounded like someone went Fist of the Northstar on his head.

It's funny how all those stories don't phase me much. So one kid found spiders where I used to find peas, meh.

The difference is, he didn't put the spiders there himself...
