Do you ever get water stuck in your lugholes?
How do you get it out?

A little while ago, between using a new pair of mp3 player headphones which were the ear bud type (the ones you stick directly into your ear canal) and swimming, I developed some kind of irritation or infection in my ears that started driving me crazy and keeping me up at night.
I searched the web and found the remedy was alchohol or a 50/50 mix of alcohol and common white vinegar.
I tried it and it worked like a charm.
Around the same time, I went to a drug store and checked what they had. I bought a little bottle of Star-Otic ear drying aid made specifically for swimmers. It cost about $3 for one fluid ounce. What is in it? 95% alcohol and 5% glycerine. It seemed to me to work about the same or maybe not even quite as good as the homemade mix of alcohol and vinegar.
