Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol are 2 things you need to have around.
For future reference.

I think he means booger, like a big glob of ear wax.

Kinda funny when you think about it, a dj eing laid low by wax.

Dude, hydrogen peroxide, just like Sloww said. Let it get in and percolate then use an ear droper to suck your ear out.

Are you guys serious? Because if I damage my brain doing it, I'll come back and haunt your grandchildren and make them wet their beds when they're adults.

Hydrogen peroxide, where would I find this stuff int he house normally, what is it used for?

**SuperSneak** · July 25, 2003, 20:28

Yeah...peroxide should dissolve the wax...other than that, get in the shower and run some warm water in your ear for a few minutes, then gently use a Quetip on it...should be dissolved enough to swab most of it out.
A bit of warm baby oil/olive oil can also generally relieve ear pain.

It's used both as a disinfectant and to bleach hair.

It goes in the medicine cabinet.

Usually 3% solution

Brown bottle (sunlight makes it lose its fizz)

**SlowwHand** · July 25, 2003, 20:29

Cleaning out bacteria from cuts. Ears. Like that.

H2O2

The germans used it in their rocket motors.

Warm shower sounds good (sounds safe), I'll go give it a shot in a minute. What's a quetip? Is it like a small stick, little bigger than toothpick made for cleaning ears? Because if it is, I have them. The problem is I just pushed the booger further with those, so maybe with the water trick first.. It's has truly blocked the tubes in my ear though, well I guess it could work.

I know I don't have any olive oil or baby oil. I'm just afraid that I'll push it even further if I try something.

**Pekka** · July 25, 2003, 20:32

Sloww, Ah that stuff! I'll try the warm water first for a while though, it just feels more comfortable. I'm such a tool.

**KrazyHorse** · July 25, 2003, 20:33

q-tip is cardboard tube with cotton swab on each end. Used to clean ears. Can't stand them. I just rub my ears out with a towel after taking a shower.

If it starts to hurt then I'd honestly go to see your GP. They've got a vac=uum they can use on your ears.

**SlowwHand** · July 25, 2003, 20:34

It's pretty good to just do it with the peroxide anyway.
As a, what? A preventive maintenance, I guess.

**Pekka** · July 25, 2003, 20:35

Thanks for the tips guys, appreciate it. I know this sounds stupid.. but man I don't want to cancel on them in minute notice, lose the money and say 'yeah I have a booger in my ear!'.. THey'll bash me forever with that one. And because if I can't work this out, I have to go to emergency room sooner or later, and that would be stupid too. To sit their for hours.

**SuperSneak** · July 25, 2003, 20:35

Turn your head, booger side down and grab/plug your nose...then very gently and gradually "blow" until the pressure builds up...this may loosen whatever the **** you've gotten in your ear...probably a jelly bean or something.

I have some less safe methods if you're desperate, as I get some major ear blockage at times...but you probably don't want to mess around too much....try the warm (verging on hot) water first to dissolve the wax.

**KrazyHorse** · July 25, 2003, 20:36

I've never heard of using peroxide in my ears.

Maybe that's what made you the way you are, sloww...

**chequita guevara** · July 25, 2003, 20:36

Peroxide won't hurt your brain unless you open your skull and dump the stuff on your noodle. It just fizzes when you put it on something.
