I suffer from a lot of wax in my ear canals.
So, yeah, I dig down deep with the Q-tips.
Lots of gunk comes out.
Even though you’re only supposed to swab them around the earlobe.
I’ve tried all kinds of oils and chemicals and weird devices, but none seem to work better than swabs.
I try to be careful, but every now and then… I make a mistake and end up in the ER.
They lecture me about it, give me more useless potions and bad advice.
What do you expect when they have Q-tips with even longer sticks.
