The Great Ear Wax Poll outcome

We don't know the ethnicity of the pollsters (n=47), nor their country of origin, but with the eye of faith, the outcome shows a nice histogram that is consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (A=0.73, a=0.27). This is assuming the the three categories represents the three genotypes. This assumption may not be true. Nevertheless the outcome is interesting.

  1. Ear wax should always be removed by a professional to avoid long term damage to the ear. Home attempts almost always have a negative effect by pushing wax further in the canal and making it more impacted – making it more difficult to remove.

  2. Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is produced in the ear canals by glands. Ear wax acts as part of the ears natural defence system preventing infection due to antibacterial agents. Its moist sticky properties also catch dust, debris and foreign objects which enter the ear.
