My wife actually found (in a dollar store of course,) a plastic reusable ear swab. 

Used it once.  Not a good idea to use them at all. 

No, it's not. You're actually not supposed to put Q-Tips (or really anything at all) in your ear, either, due to the risk of damaging one's eardrum and/or impacting wax in the ear canal. I know this after I had to go to urgent care to get a double ear infection treated last year. (Yeah, that was painful and it sucked. I also learned that amoxicillin gives me a horribly itchy rash.)

In short: Don't stick stuff into your ears.
How about a themomater?
I'm pretty sure that's only for dogs.

Also, why is this thread still going? Are we even on the original topic anymore?

Aside from the few serious things said such as MNHighwayMan's double ear infection,

This thread has been amusing to say the least.  :-D


For my two cents on chewing used wads of gum, I've never done it, but the thought of the act reminds me of the character Violet Beauregarde from the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory movie.

I mean, you could've used some of the infected ear wax as chewing gum X-( :bigass:

Heh.  Reminds me of an article from The Straight Dope...

"I think my roommate is having sex with his cat.  Can you explain the biological reasons why a person can't get a cat pregnant?"

"Yeah, it's the same reason you can't park a Cadillac in the closet, you bozo."
