The doctors in China's Sichuan province performed an endoscopy that revealed a fake eardrum. When it was peeled away, the doctors found a spider raising a family.
A woman who visited a hospital in China complaining of tinnitus (hearing a ringing sound) and pain in her ear was shocked when the doctor told her a live spider is raising a colony of offspring inside. The bizarre incident took place in Sichuan province on April 20. The spider was discovered when the doctor performed an endoscopy on the ear of the woman. A video of the procedure, captured by the doctor, shows him pulling away a false eardrum that was actually a silky web woven by the spider.
According to the video released by Viral Press, the endoscopy was performed on the woman's right ear with special tweezers fitted with a camera at Huidong County People's Hospital.
The medic found what looked like an eardrum but realised it was a silky web. Then as he peeled it away, the terrifying spider raising a family behind it rushed out and attacked the endoscopic tube.
After hearing the woman's complaint about tinnitus, medics soon came to the conclusion that the strange sounds and pain were due to something else.
