Most stories about spiders laying eggs under human skin, or in the muscular tissue, are urban myths. They aren't supported by evidence, and mostly show how scared people are of spiders. That said, it is possible for spiders to lay their eggs in the ear or nose, where there's already a hollow and it's out of sight and easy reach. It isn't likely, but it is possible.

for everyone that says this is only a legend...
yes spiders can lay eggs inside a body.. if they can get inside..
more or less all insects hachin time is determend by tha heat around tha eggs,, and human/animals are optimal heatsource for this.
i work as a bucher.. and iv seen meny insect Eggs youst insde of tha animals skin.. but most times these are eggs from Flyes.
