Ants build nest in teen's ears

A 16-year-old Taiwanese girl was found to have a whole nest of of ants in her ears.
The girl, from Taipei, discovered this when she went to see a doctor after suffering from itchiness in ears.

Dr Hung Yuan-Tsung, chief of the Otolaryngology division of Taipei City Hospital found over 20 ants in her right ear. 

There were also a few ants in her left ear.

Apparently, the girl who loves eating sweet food on her bed had scratched her ears and that had attracted the ants.

The girl said there were a few occasions when she found ants crawling out from her eats, but had never imagined that the insects were actually living there.

Her infected ears were red and swollen but luckily for her, early treatment saved her ear drums.
