Q-Tip Safety

Recommended Posts

chazm

One morning a few years ago I was getting ready for work & was doing some personal hygiene ( cleaning  :occasion-clown:    ) of my ears.

Well I was using a cheap-azz Dollar store Q-tip, when I may have gotten a little bit over zealous & broke the tip off in my ear  :eusa-doh:

Being a mechanic I figured with a pair of needle nose pliers would take care of this problem... wrong .  :omg:

Tried a pair of hemostats... double wrong   :banghead:  :banghead:

Soooo,  I ended up going to a Walk-In Clinic  for some Professional help .... :pray:

Well I was not only the laughing stock of the Nurses, but it was all the Doctor could do to keep a straight face  :teasing-tease: as he remove the Q-tip . Then he proceeded to explain the danger of sticking a Q-tip that deep into the ear :naughty:   Lesson learned :eusa-whistle:

 

I guess the moral of the story... Be careful in the bathroom  &  Don't USE cheap -azz Q-tips   :thumbs2:

That's what my mother told me.

 

Never listened though. Ended up in an ER in Orlando, FL with wax pushed up against my ear drum. That was 10 years ago, and I have not had a Q-Tip anywhere near my ears since.

 

Mom was right!

Wax against the eardrum? that sure sounds familiar

The looped end of a hair pin really works well to scoop out the debris. :handgestures-thumbsup:

I recommend using a large bore syringe (needle less of course) with warm water. This is how the doctors office gets the wax out. Save the Q-tips for the pets ears.

Never get your T-paper at the Dollar Store!  

 

when engaging in personal hygiene follow these 3 steps:

 

MEASURE WITH A RULER

 

MARK IT WITH CHALK

 

CUT IT WITH A TORCH!  :helmet:
