A simple step in many people’s hygiene left an English man developing a near-fatal infection that spread to the lining of his brain.
Over the past five years, the man had been experiencing pain and hearing loss in his ear — something he had been treated for multiple times. It wasn’t until he had a seizure that led him to look more carefully into the problem and discover that a piece of a cotton swab stuck in his ear was causing his severe medical issues, according to his link opens in a new tab Live Science.
Next time he should try using an ice pick for added reach.

Thank god I only put toothpickers in my ear
Andrew Powell
if he had been treated for it why didn't a simple syringing of his ear canal fix the problem ?

Getting the wax out of your ears is strangely satisfying.
Isaiah Torres
How did the fucking doctor treating him for years miss the fucking cotton bit?

Or you could just fuckin make sure your cotton swabs aren't covered in sewage. Anyone who doesn't clean their earxax after every shower is disgusting.

You are supposed to clean your earwax during your shower.

A simple otoscopic exam takes seconds and would have found the foreign body in the external canal. Sadly, many GPS don’t use halogen or LED lighting and hardly ever change batteries in their otoscopes.

I had a cotton swab lodged in my ear once, the doctors missed it several times. Finally found it when he shoved the ear examination device extra deep into my ear. Maybe they just weren't looking deep enough.
