My daughter, who works in a health-food store, recently brought home some "ear candles." These are hollow, waxed tubes whose "technology" dates back to the middle ages. You simply put the tapered end in you ear while lying on your side. Someone then lights the other end of the tube. It burns for a about 15 minutes. You then blow it out and let it smolder for another few minutes. When done it has cleaned out any detritus (wax, etc.) that was in your ear. Interestingly, if you are eating too many carbs in the form of bread and other yeast-carrying items, it shows up in your ear. This ear candle gets loaded with powdered yeast when you perform this process. Interesting. Cleans your ears out much more throroughly than Q-tips ever could.

i duno,, putting a lit candle in my ear? dosent sound too safe,, think ill stick to the q=tip, soft , fluffy, and non flammable!

lol, kidding around, an interesting piece of info

thanks
