Just your Friday dose of gross...

Suffering from an itchy ear, a woman in China went to a hospital on Wednesday to get it checked out. Doctors took a look and found a spider nestled inside.

According to LiveScience, the woman's doctors were concerned if they were to simply go in and try to remove the spider, it would "instinctively drill its barbs deeper, scratching the ear canal." Doctors eventually got it out by pouring saline solution into the ear canal and flushing out the unwelcomed guest.

To the right is a photo of the spider in the woman's ear, according to CBS News. The spider is believed to have been in the woman's ear for almost a week.

And now I have to shower.
