parsleyDan Abel Boatwright rec.food.cooking: has measured nothing. Very true, Dan... far, far better than guzzling sugar laden OJ (the BIG LIE from the citrus commission... OJ is not so great for you... makes you fat...
OK, I don't know how to describe this without grossing you out, so if you have a weak stomach, close this post.
Ok, you decided to stay. For about 3 weeks, I had this problem with my right ear ( and NO, it wasn't because I don't wash my ears, thank you!) where it continued to develop a hard dry crust of skin flakes just inside the canal. I put up with it for a while, but it finally became painfull enough that I couldn't stand it, and would just, in desperation, jam my fingernail in there to try to peel it off. Well, it wasn't that easy, and by the time I was done, it was either bleeding or exuding a clear fluid, and it felt like someone set it on fire. Then, in a few hours it was back just like before. Out of a lack of finding anything usefull in the medicine cabinet, I put some plain old EVOO (tribute to Rachael) on a q-tip and did this 2 nights in a row. Only 2. The condition left and never came back. I guess used motor oil may have had the same result? Or is there something special about olive oil?
