Desirae Kelly of Farmington, Mo., woke up at 5 a.m. on Oct. 24 to a strange feeling. "I felt something move in my ear," Kelly said in a TikTok video. Fox News reported that Kelly was in such discomfort that she started to cry in the waiting room at urgent care. As a nurse started to flush her ear with water, Kelly "felt whatever that was crawl out of my ear ... and I watched out of the corner of my eye something fall and land on my sweater," Kelly said. "I watch this black spider with all eight legs crawl across the floor." The nurses trapped the spider in a container. "The nurses were so sweet and passed no judgment like I thought they would," Kelly said. "I don't think I could ever sleep without earplugs again."

The brothers hadn't decided whether they would appeal the decision.
