A woman named Li Meng was worried she had been inhabited by evil
spirits after she started hearing mysterious ‘scratching’ noises later
discovered a live spider in her ear.
The victim, named by Chinese media as Li Meng, had been suffering
from frequent pain in her ear, especially at night when she would hear
strange sounds.
She had taken painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication for the symptoms but to no avail.
Li had even started to believe she was being punished by evil
spirits because the pain started after she ate some wild berries which
were growing over a tomb during a hiking trip.
Her superstitious boyfriend had warned her not to eat the berries, but she was so thirsty at the time she ignored his advice.
She told TaiHaiNet.com: “I even went to a temple to pray but it didn’t help.”
Eventually, Li sought medical help and doctors at Xiamen City
Hospital made a shock discovery. A small, live spider was living deep in
her ear canal and had even span itself a web.
Doctor Chen Zhaoyou said initial attempts to remove the arachnid
caused it to react violently, causing Li more pain. But they were
eventually able to pacify it with a syrup and it was removed.
