According to press reports, 49-year-old Indian Lekshmi L. had slept on her porch and felt a tingling, uncomfortable feeling in her right ear when she woke up.
She and her daughter could not find anything out of the ordinary. But then she had a severe headache, and the wife was taken to the Columbia Asia Hospital in Hebbal by her husband.
There, the doctors noticed that there was a spider in the patient's ear. Using light, they managed to lure the animal out.
Living animals in the human body
"I was scared when I could feel the movement of a creature in my ear," Lekshmi said, according to a report by the British Daily Star..
"The acute earache, followed by sharp pain, have cut my breath. I could not think of anything and was petrified when the doctor confirmed that there was a spider in my ear. "
The attending physician, Dr. med. Santosh Shivaswamy, explained that it makes the patients' fear difficult to remove living insects from the ear. But he added that it is very rare for a spider to go in there.
But it sometimes happens that there are living animals in the body of a human being. Only a few months ago it was reported that doctors - also in India - took a live cockroach from a woman's head. (Ad)
