Mum finds whole 'spider's nest' inside her ear after feeling a 'crackling'

The woman says she'd rather 'go through childbirth again'

Usually if we feel a ‘crackling’ in our ear, it’s probably our earphones having a moment.

We wouldn’t expect it to be something alive inside of us. And yet for one mum, it seemed to be an actual spider’s nest.

Lucy Wild had already pulled a spider from her ear three weeks before.

The 29-year-old kept having this ‘scratchy’ pain. She originally thought it was just a build-up of wax, but decided to use an earbud camera to have a look.

Sending in a Smartbud, Lucy made the gross discovery. Watch the clip here:

The mum from Cheshire said: “It was like something out of Stranger Things. It looked like you were going into the upside down.”

Lucy’s ear was cleared out by doctors but now she’s paranoid there’s still something in there.

“I don’t know what it left in my ear that was black but maybe it cut my ear – I know some spiders have babies on their legs and back,” she said.

“I was very confused as to how it even got in there, how does spider get in your ear and you not know about it - I was petrified thinking there might be another one."

Lucy would 'rather go through childbirth again'.

She’d used the Smartbud the first time when she found a spider ‘the size of a baby fingernail’ was living in there which she flushed out with olive oil.

But after feeling pain for weeks after, she sent the camera in again to discover the inside of her ear was covered in a black substance.

UPSET OVER WHAT CHIN DIMPLES ACTUALLY ARE

Referred to the ear, nose and throat (ENT) department, a specialist apparently suggested it was a spider’s nest and suctioned it out in a painful procedure.

Lucy said: “I actually vomited while he was doing procedure it was that painful – it was the most excruciating pain I've ever felt.”

And even added: "I'd rather go through childbirth or a c-section again.”

Something 'like Stranger Things'.

After getting home from her procedure, she had another look and claims she ‘can still see a bit in there’.

It’s been swabbed though, and Lucy will get results after two weeks to determine just what has gone on inside her ear.

The mum also recommends other people ‘invest in a Smartbud’ as she claims: “You need to know what's going on in your ears.”

A spokesperson for the British Arachnological Society said: "Everything is so blurred I really couldn't say.

"While some structures could be legs that's as far as I am prepared to go."
