#36: Stressed Ears

If you’re a stressed person you might consider having a look at your ears. That’s right, humans under a considerable amount of stress will produce more earwax than usual. Although earwax production is healthy, and scientists claim we don’t actually need to worry about removing it, you should pay attention to your ear’s health as earwax build-up can cause many problems from hearing loss to infections.

Yep, you read that right. If you’re undergoing a stressful period, not only can you produce more earwax than normal, it will also smell worse than regular earwax. You might be wondering ”Don’t humans go through enough in life?” and yes, in addition to life’s many hardships you can now also get an insane amount of earwax from simply getting annoyed. Thanks, universe.
