Safety Every Day...On Ears and Noses

In the passageway of the outer ear there is often a soft yellow material called wax. This wax often prevents small insects from crawling down the passageway and hurting the eardrum.

Something to fear more than monsters under your bed or in your closet is insects lined up waiting to crawl into your ear.

A bad odor may be a warning of danger. It would not be safe to eat food that had a bad odor.

A good sense of smell helps to protect you from danger.

Picking your nose with your fingers is not a clean habit. If you must clean your nose, use a clean handkerchief. Always use your own handkerchief. Make sure it is ironed.
