A woman in China  went to the doctor because of an itch in her ear. Doctors determined that a strange itch on the side of her head turned out to be a spider burrowing through her ear canal.

In photos released by the hospital, the spider is seen deeply entrenched in the woman’s ear, requiring doctors to reportedly use a saline solution to flood the canal and flush it out to avoid it climbing deeper into her head or biting her.

According to the hospital, the flushing procedure was a success and the spider crawled out on its own.

They are unsure if the spider’s activities in the ear canal included egg laying.

EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!

Arthur Boorman, a paratrooper in the Gulf War, made so many jumps that he blew out his back and knees. He grew depressed and packed on the pounds, ultimately requiring crutches to get around; doctors told the veteran he’d never be able to walk unassisted again. For 15 years, Boorman accepted that he was disabled…. Then he discovered yoga.

We’re all screwed.
