Ear Wax

I find earwax bothersome. I have more than my share. My doctor informed me that your ears make more wax in times of stress. I replied “Then I have been stressed my whole day life.”

I was watching a science channel and they said they were discovering many interesting things by extracting the earwax from whales! Whales and us get was the same way, a gland secretes oily gunk into the ear canal, which hardens and accumulates into a solid, tapering plug. 

Scientists can gather a lot of valuable information from this ear wax. Whales are harvested and scientists can jump in and get the wax before it is destroyed. They can learn things about the age of the whale, they can identify hormones. It kind of makes me wonder if we could learn about man from harvesting earwax.
