According to Chinese news outlet
TaiHaiNet.com,
the spider may have embedded into Li’s ear when the 25-year-old went
for a hike with her boyfriend. After returning home that night, Li says
she began hearing a strange scratching sound that was occasionally
accompanied by a sharp pain in her ear.
Li says she believed that she may have been "cursed" by evil spirits. According to Central European News, she "
even went to a temple" to pray for the spirits to leave her.
Li also took painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication to ease the pain, but none of the remedies seemed to work.
About a week after the hike, Li visited Dr. Chen Zhao Ye, an ear, nose
and throat specialist at the Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese
Medicine. During the examination, Chen discovered a spider living inside
Li’s troubled ear. The spider had even been weaving a web inside the
ear cavity.
Removing the spider was reportedly a difficult and painful ordeal as the
doctor's attempts caused it to react violently. Chen was only able to
complete the task after subduing the spider with some anesthesia.
