You just as easily could say cotton swabs are dangerous if a person punctures an ear drum or inserts the tip into the ear canal.

I've used ear candles for a few years. I like to do it every couple months. If you aren't a moron, it works quite well, and it only takes a few minutes. If you are a moron, I suppose you might be dumb enough to let it burn down to your hair or "get it stuck in your ear." You'd have to be especially stupid to jam it in your ear, though. Right, Ricky?

I always leave enough candle left that I can cut open what's left and see the wax it pulled out. Works better than pouring peroxide in your ear and way better than any cotton swab.

Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do it anymore.

I had a head cold a few weeks ago, which I got over, was feelin' good - then I candled my ears. The next day the damn cold came back and I've been fightin' it off again since.
