Why you shouldn’t stick things in your ears
When it comes to the history of human hygiene, there have been some truly hair-raising methods through the ages. In terms of earwax removal, people have struggled with leaving well alone and have stuck all manner of items into their ears!
Asian culture brings us the ear pick, an instrument that remains popular today despite sounding ghastly. Ear scoops are also popular in Eastern cultures. These are very small silver or bronze spoons inserted into the ear to clean them out. These instruments have even been found in archeological digs as far west as Rome.
