What This Arizona Teen Pulled From His Ear Is Frig­htening
KSAT ^ | 7/1

Posted on 07/01/2015 7:50:17 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A Saline County teenager woke up Tuesday morning with excruciating pain in one of his ears. Grant Botti, 14, says he felt something strange in his ear and decided to grab hold of it. What he pulled out, would shock everyone.

It was a 4-inch long centipede. Grant's mom, Angela Botti, put the still-alive centipede in a plastic bag and took Grant to the emergency room because he was still in pain.

A doctor at Saline Memorial examined Grant's ear, finding some small abrasions in his ear drum. He was treated and released.

Grant's mom says they don't know where the centipede came from, but that Grant had been outdoors swimming recently.

Doctors and nurses at Saline Memorial told the family they have seen people come in with all kinds of things in their ears, but that centipede was a first.

I woke up one morning with a loud pounding in my ear. It was an ant walking across my eardrum. I think I poured peroxide in my ear. Very strange sound.

I think mostmif not all are. It just varies by size in terms of how much it can mess you up.

Guy I knew in Jeddah decades ago had terrible sinus pain. The embassy nurse checked the dude out. She went up his nasal passage with a calipers and pulled out a cockroach.
