One horror story is about a person who tried ear candling at home. The wax from the candle dripped into their ear, causing extreme pain and temporary hearing loss. They had to rush to the doctor to get it removed.
There was a horror story where a person tried ear candling as a DIY remedy. During the process, the ear candle bent and the hot wax and debris from the candle fell directly into the ear. This led to a severe infection in the ear. The person had to endure a long course of antibiotics and a lot of pain until the infection was cleared up. It just goes to show that ear candling can be really risky if not done right.
Fiction. Ear candling is a practice that lacks scientific evidence to support its claimed benefits. There are no valid studies showing that it can effectively remove earwax or treat various ear problems as some proponents claim.
An infection is a very common horror story. People might go to a dirty or unprofessional place, and then the pierced area gets red, swollen, and infected. Another one is when the piercing is done too quickly or inaccurately, like hitting a nerve, which causes extreme pain.
Well, I heard about someone who got their ear pierced and the piercer accidentally pierced the wrong part of the ear. It was so painful for the person. Then, due to the wrong placement, the earring kept getting caught on things and it ended up tearing the ear a little bit, which was really scary and required medical attention.
There was a person who got some earwax - removing drops and overused them. The drops made the wax very soft and gooey. When they tried to clean it out with a cotton swab, it just spread the wax all over the inside of the ear canal. It was a mess and they couldn't hear clearly for a while. Also, a person once had a small insect fly into their ear. Instead of going to the doctor right away, they tried to get it out themselves by poking around with a toothpick. They ended up hurting their ear even more and the insect was still stuck there until they finally went to the doctor.
Make sure to go to a professional piercer. Look for someone who is trained and has good reviews. A professional will use sterile equipment and know the proper techniques.
Well, I heard of a person who had so much ear wax buildup that it started to affect their hearing really badly. They thought it was just normal muffled sound at first, but then it got to the point where they could barely hear conversations. It was quite a horror when they finally went to the doctor and saw all that ear wax come out.
Well, a common consequence is ear infections. When there's too much ear wax, it can create a moist and warm environment which is perfect for bacteria to grow. This can lead to really bad ear infections that can be very difficult to get rid of. Also, balance problems can occur as the ear wax might interfere with the inner ear's function which is related to balance. It's like a nightmare for those who experience it.
