Why would anyone do that in their ears EVERY NIGHT?
To: BenLurkin
I’ll never forget what a doctor told me 40+ years ago: don’t stick anything in your ear smaller than your elbow.

Ears are far to sensitive to clean DAILY with a swab. She gave her ears no time to heal.

Don’t put anything smaller than your elbow into your ears.

Hubby thought he was going deaf.
Doc says to my husband...Do you clean your ears with a Q-Tip? Yes....every day.
Well, you have enough wax packed in there to start a wax museum.
To: BenLurkin
If she was gonna doit...she shoulda done it right...

3-5 drops of hydrogen peroxide in each ear is the trick.
Yeah it fizzes a bit but dissolves the wax.
My doc says most colds and viruses enter through the ears ....
H2O2 also kills da germs too.

Every time you use a Q-Tip, a bit of the cotton fibers get stuck inside. Eventually, they add up so you can’t hear and eventually get infected. That’s one product that should be taken off the market.

I believe the box of Q-Tips explicitly says “don’t use in ears”
Still, she’s just ONE example of why we have such stupid ‘warnings’ on every object possible.

O'Really? Been cleaning my ears daily with Q tips for 50 years , exactly when will your described horrors start? And no, not my PCP or ENT have ever detected the dread build up of fibers.
