If you've been swimming in the pool, then you may be familiar with the feeling of getting water in your ear. A woman in Kansas City, Susie Torres, thought that's what happened to her ear; it was waterlogged. Well, it turns out it was not water in her ear...it was a spider!

The medical assistant who first checked her ear seemed to be shocked, and called in other co-workers for a second opinion.

"She then said, 'I think you have an insect in there. She came back in and told me it was a spider," Torres told the news.

Doctors told Torres it was a highly venomous brown recluse spider, which thank goodness didn't bite her.
