Doctors discovered that the source of a woman's headache was A LIVE SPIDER INSIDE HER EAR.

While we can probably all relate to hopping on WebMD and discovering the worst possible outcome to an ailment, a live spider probably isn't even on the list.

According to SWNS, a 49-year-old woman awoke from a nap with a slight tingling sensation inside her ear. The woman considered she had something in her ear, so she tried to get it out using her fingers, but she was unsuccessful. Eventually the woman developed an "excruciating pain" inside her head, so she was rushed to the Columbia Asia Hospital in Hebbal, India, where a doctor discovered there was A LIVE SPIDER INSIDE HER EAR.

Doctors managed to coax the spider out of her ear, and let's just hope it didn't lay any eggs while it was in there.
