ARKANSAS TEEN PULLS 4-INCH CENTIPEDE OUT OF EAR AFTER WAKING UP IN AGONY.
An Arkansas teen suffering from severe earache was left stunned when he pulled out a 4-inch centipede.  Grant Botti woke up at his Saline County home on Tuesday morning with an excruciating pain in one of his ears. 

The 14-year-old then felt something wriggling around.  He grabbed hold of the mystery intruder's tail, slowly drew it out and was shocked at what he found.  His mom Angela put the still-alive critter into a plastic bag then took her son, who was still in pain, to Saline Memorial Hospital.

Doctors found small abrasions in his ear drum, but he was later released and is expected to make a full recovery.

DOG WANTS TO KNOW IF HE CAN HAVE THE CENTIPEDE. "THOSE THINGS ARE DELICIOUS!"
