" Well you clicked on this horrifying headline so don&amp;#039;t blame us if you want to curl up in a ball and cry for the rest of the day, alright? Just when you thought ear-related tales couldn&amp;#039;t get any grosser than that one about the earwax the other day, THIS HAPPENS.  Grant Botti, a 14 year old from Arkansas, was awoken from his sleep on Monday night when his ear started hurting, and by early Tuesday morning he was suffering from an inexplicably excruciating pain. Oh god. His mum Angela revealed to Buzzfeed that her son came running downstairs for help and couldn&amp;#039;t explain what was wrong, but after fidgeting with his ear for a while, it soon became clear what might just be the cause of the problem. Erm, that would be THIS THING EMERGING FROM THE DEPTHS HIS EAR. NOPE SORRY GOODBYE NO THANK YOU.  LOOK AT ITS MANY, MANY LEGS. A centipede was literally nestled inside his ear for a long period of time and we&amp;#039;re not sure whether to cry or laugh or vomit or wear protective earmuffs for the rest of our lives and into the afterlife. Unsurprisingly, doctors told Grant and his mother that they&amp;#039;d never seen anything like it before, even in their darkest nightmares, after the horrifyingly large four inch centipede left him with abrasions to his eardrum and ear canal. Not to mention, y&amp;#039;know, mental scarring for life and probably a crippling fear of centipedes - although on second thoughts, surely this should technically be classed as an earwig? Okay sorry it&amp;#039;s too soon for humour.  The end is neigh. Let this teach us all to take every day without a centipede coming out of your ear as a blessing from God. Have we ruined your life with this cautionary tale of centipedes and earholes? Or are you a terrible person and enjoyed this as much as you enjoy the spot popping videos of doom?
