Serious Illness

I once new someone who had a very serioius ear infection because they stuffed a cotton bud in their ear. Not very nice, cotton budds are for getting those bits of food stuck round kitchen taps out of the way, not for poking your ear drums about. Let this scary story be a warning to others who use these nasty things. My friend thought she had a brain tumor and was most worried, however it turned out to be a blocked up cotton bud.
