Q-tip boxes always say Do Not Insert Into Inner Ear Or Nose Canal, and I always thought that was one of those idiot warnings like you get on coffee cups, Contents May Be Hot - sort of Do Not Shove These In So Deep That They Get Stuck In Your Hippocampus. But no, it is not an idiot warning.
Really it should say If You Rub Even A Little Bit Too Hard, You Will Probably Get An Infection, And It Will Be Incredibly Painful For Several Days, And You Will Have To Take Scary Amounts Of Scary Painkillers; You Won't Be Able To Sleep, Hear, Or Chew, And You Will Heartily Regret Having Disregarded This Warning.
I guess they don't really have space for that. Well, now I know better, and now you do too.
