Northerners were reminded of the ability of cotton swabs to create sulfur plugs in the ears

Cotton swabs can cause sulfur traffic jams in northerners. This was reported 360.ru with reference to the doctor-otorhinolaryngologist.

It all depends on the structure of the ear. If the ear canal is wider than the rod, the ear can be dried. And if it is the same or already, sulfur is pushed inside.

Especially careful should be people prone to the formation of sulfur. Another risk is that cotton can jump off the stick and stay in the ear.
