A woman from Missouri named Desirae Kelly went viral on TikTok after sharing her experience of finding a live spider in her ear.
She posted a video of herself at the doctor’s office, where a nurse confirmed the presence of the spider in her ear canal.
Kelly expressed her shock and discomfort, and later described the traumatic experience of feeling the spider crawl out of her ear.

“I am so embarrassed, first of all, because that’s so gross, and I’m a clean person,” the Missouri mom said.
“But also, it’s an uneasy feeling — there’s a bug in my ear.”
“It was a spider,” she said through tears and a shaky breath.
“It was alive. I threw up. I’m never sleeping again.”
“I thought it was the tassels on the end of my comforter, so I went back to sleep,” she said.

“About 10 or 15 minutes later, I woke up again, and this time … I actually felt something move in my ear.”
“It was so uncomfortable,” she said. “I started to cry in the waiting room.”
“As it falls from my shoulder to the floor, I watch it crawl,” she said. “I watch this black spider with all eight legs crawl across the f—–g floor.”
“My eyes are wide open, my hand is clutching my chest, as I’m, like, trying to breathe because all oxygen has escaped me,” she said.
“And all I can say is, ‘Spider.’”
The video gained millions of views and many users expressed their own disgust and uneasiness.
Kelly admitted to being traumatized and now sleeps with earplugs every night.

“But I am traumatized,” she said. “Every night since that night, I have had earplugs in my ears. I don’t think I could ever sleep without earplugs again.”
“That is the most uneasy, violating feeling ever to quite literally feel a spider crawl out of your ear.”
