 Topic: Are Q-tips really dangerous?
Posted: Jan 04 2013 at 3:49am |

I've heard they can be but meh...Won't stop me from using them. I don't use qtips often anyway atleast not often enough to cause a significant amount of damage I don't think. That commercial seems like a load of bull just to get you to buy their product anyway

The people in those infomercials have the most difficult time with simple, everyday tasks.

One time when I was younger, I was cleaning my ears( I love cleaning my ears, it's just one of those things) and the cotton got lodged in my ear. I couldn't hear anything really. I had to go to the ER after my dad's "bright" idea of trying to use a vacuum suction didn't work. It cost about $800 to get it out and the doc said I was lucky because if it had gone even a bit further, I would have required surgery.

That happened to me once, oh my god, I was so scared!  Luckily, a pair of tweezers and a cousin's steady hands saved the day and my hearing.

Yeah, if you give it to mindless children or shove it down your ear hole. Yes.
