Alpes-Maritimes: she arrives in the emergency room with a tarantula in an incongruous part of her anatomy

It’s a story worthy of a horror movie. In Antibes, in the Alpes-Maritimes, a woman went to the emergency room of the Arnault Tzanck hospital for some pretty amazing reason. Indeed, she is going to explain to the nurse that she has a spider stuck in his ear. Surprised and frankly skeptical, he will then call the doctor on duty for a more detailed examination. Using his otoscope, the healthcare professional will only confirm the patient’s statements. Indeed, a arachnid is stuck in his ear canal. The practitioner will therefore attempt to remove it. After several attempts, the spider was able to be extracted. It was a black-roofed, hairy animal with big white eyes.

This tarantula from Andalusia was one centimeter wide. The patient will then indicate that the animal slipped into her ear a few minutes after waking up. “When I woke up, my daughter said to me: ‘Mom, you have a spider on your cheek.’ ear. We tried with a lukewarm water enema to get her out but to no avail. She stung me several times. So my daughter took me to the ER.” she said.

The patient suffers from acute otitis

A terrifying discovery for this mother who found herself with a spider stuck in the ear canal. If she was able to get rid of the animal, the patient still suffers from severe otitis. Doctors were able to prescribe antibiotics to cure her. A great fright for this mother who will certainly take much longer to fall asleep.
