    Oh my god are you kidding me. theres nothing better than going home after a long days work kicking back in your favorite chair then when no one is looking reach your pinky into your ear and pulling out a dinner for four.

    You are definitely going to die, eventually, but it seems unlikely that earwax will figure prominently in the cause of death.

    IT may be that you have an infection of some sort as wax is antibacterial, but your own may not be the best to chew on I would suggest beeswax, you can eat it with combed honey its good for your digestion and hygienic and tastes like honey.

    For all you people who don't like the taste, get creative, I find that if you combine it with a dingleberry or two on a Ritz it works nicely as an appetizer.

    When my ear is itchy I scratch it and I get ear wax out then I don't know what to do with it so I just lick it and it tastes horrible in my opinion

  • musicman625

    I'm partial to most anything that the body produces. I love ear wax, boogers, and one of my favorites that no one has mentioned is Toe Jam, it has a nice buttery taste to it. Ear was is a little bitter abd leaves a bad after taste, but a nice big booger with a little blood on it will knock that after taste right out for ya.

    i do that too! i think it's pretty normal, but people don't realize that because it's such an embarrassing habit so people aren't open about it. anyone who thinks that eating your own earwax is gross probably has gross tasting ear wax because they themselves are gross. Mine is completely neutral tasting, i've never once encountered bitter tasting ear wax. i'm sure it won't harm you it's probably good for you! i'm sixteen and i've been doing it since i was very young too.

  • I don't think it would actually block your arteries or anything, that sounds a bit ungrounded to me. But why are you eating it? Sometimes when I clean my ears out I end up eating it because I have nothing else to do with it, but it tastes disgusting. I don't get it.

    Sorry that's not helping. Basically, although i'm sure (as long as you don't do it ALL the time) it's not that bad, but i'd stop anyway just because it's not very mature, hygienic or, well, normal.

    Is it tasty? Really? I hate how it tastes. Boogers are preferable because they don't have much of a flavor. And I don't like blood--too coppery. Eating bodily secretions isn't pleasant, I don't get why you do it.

    Sups peeps, it%%u2019s been a struggle but i%%u2019ve managed to stop eating my own earwax! (7-8 months clean! Woot!) I only stopped because of the comment about clogged arteries, that put me off quite a bit. When I go exploring in my ears, I still like to give my wax a good ol%%u2019 sniff but now I dispose of the wax by flicking it instead of yamming it.

    Earwax is and will always be a tasty treat, I sure will miss it.
