That reminds me of an old Twilight Zone story where a guy had a worm in his ear that lived off the ear wax.

That was NO SPIDER!!!

It was an ALIEN SURVEILLANCE MACHINE that enters its human host through the ear canal, burrows its way to the base of the skull and IMPLANTS ITSELF in the central nervous system. This allows it to affect and sometimes even CONTROL THE ACTIONS of the host. This is dangerous for the host, since the parasite can do PERMANENT DAMAGE to the brain and may SELF-DESTRUCT to avoid detection, causing what is often erroneously diagnosed as spontaneous human combustion. Human infections will BECOME INCREASINGLY COMMON until the year 2012.

UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED, especially to COMPUTER BULLETIN BOARDS.

They had this topic on the radio today...pretty soon callers were telling of friends/relatives that got bitten by spiders on the arms, legs and face etc. The bitten area swelled up and baby spiders crawled out.

About 12 days into the JMT SnowDude got bit on the face by something (we think a spider). His face got so swollen I was going to walk him out at the next exit (2 days away). By the time we got there, the pain was gone, but the swelling was so bad, he had to wear sunglasses just so I could look at him. His face looked like it was ready to explode! By the time we got resupplied (day 22), the swelling was starting to go down, but still obvious. Really wierd!
