Teen Pulls 4-inch Long Centipede out of his Ear

A teenager in Arkansas who was suffering from a severe earache was left stunned when he pulled out a 4-inch centipede. Can you say gross?

According to New York Daily News, Grant Botti woke up at his home in Saline County last week in excruciating pain. The 14 year old then felt something wiggling around.

He then grabbed onto the mystery intruder’s tail and slowly pulled it out. It goes without saying he was shocked when he came face-to-face with the creepy crawler.

His mom Angela put the critter into a plastic bag, and took her son to the hospital.
Doctors found small abrasions in his ear drum, but he was later released and is expected to make a full recovery.

It’s still not clear how the centipede ended up in the teen’s ear. However, the family does believe it could have happened when he was swimming.

Nurses at the hospital say it was the first time they have ever had someone come in with a centipede in their ear.

In case you’re wondering, the centipede's condition is unknown.
