In a bizarre medical condition, doctors in the USA found a dangerous spider from a woman's ear and the woman had no idea how it sneaked into her ear. The woman went to the doctor thinking she had the side effects of an allergy shot.

A few days back, the woman had felt noises of water in her ear as if she was in a swimming pool and all the water had entered inside her left ear. "I woke up Tuesday hearing a bunch of swooshing and water in my left ear. It was like when you went swimming and you have all of that water in your ear," Susie Torres, a resident of Kansas City was quoted as saying to Fox 4.

At the hospital, the woman was startled after the medical assistant told her that there was an insect within her ear. Torres said doctors "worked their magic" and removed the coin-sized brown recluse spider from her ear. The doctors told her that she was lucky for the spider had not bitten her.  Now the woman has become extra cautious and began using cotton balls for covering her ears while falling asleep.

As per Ohio State University fact sheet, adult brown recluse spiders are about 3/8 inches long and about 3/16 inches wide. If bitten by this spider, there is a possibility of itching, muscle pain,  increased sweating, headaches, nausea and/or fever.
