A 31-year-old man from the UK was rushed to the hospital after collapsing in his home
with a cotton swab commonly known as a Q-Tip still stuck in his ear.
The man was struck ill when he was suffering from an ear infection that triggered seizures,
vomiting and many other symptoms.
The man then developed something called necrotizing otitis externa which usually occurs in older
people who suffer from diabetes.
This condition seen in the patient is caused by a very common bacterium that can become
very dangerous and even lethal in some cases.
Q-Tips or cotton swabs are being labelled as the possible risk factor in the development
of this condition because using them can damage your ear canal.
Although it has yet to be a direct factor in causing this condition before.
It is still unknown as to how long exactly the Q-Tip was in the mans ear what they do
know is that the patient suffered from hearing loss in that affected year for a period of
five years.
As I mentioned the symptoms of this infection were very severe, he had seizures, frequent
vomiting and even would struggle to remember peoples names just days leading up to the
final deterioration of his health.
At first doctors placed him on medication for the deadly brain infection meningitis
and then proceeded to put him under a general anesthetic to take a look at exactly what
was happening inside of his ear canal.
Upon looking deeper into the issue the medical team noticed the ear canal was inflamed and
was filled with discharge.
Whats even crazier was that the doctors found bits of the Q-Tip left behind.
After getting a CT scan it showed that some of the Q-Tip had made its way inside of the
mans skull.
His ear then had to be cleared out and then the patient was placed on intravenous antibiotics.
It took nearly a week for the abscesses of the Q-Tip first spotted in the skull to shrink.
After remaining on medication for two months he had made a full recovery having no remaining
symptoms or neurological issues.
Q-Tip the popular manufacturer of cotton swabs has made it very publicly aware not to use
their products in the external auditory canal, but for some reason people keep doing it.
Its perhaps one of the most ignored safety packaging labels since the whole Tide Pods
debacle.
Hopefully this story will make you think twice before jamming something into your ear.
I want to hear your thoughts on this story though so comment down below if you have any
other methods of cleaning your ears out or if you dont even think its necessary.
I mean did cavemen have cotton swabs, probably not.
