Just out of curiosity what would happen if a spider layed eggs in your ear cannel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear canals: Theoretically they could hatch. It sounds pretty unlikely, though. If you are concerned you might have spider eggs or bugs in your ears, you could fill your ear canal with oil or just go see your doctor for them to have a look with an otoscope that enables them to see the entire external ear canal. Best of luck to you!
