Oh my god. I can't stop sneezing and, very soon, I'm pretty sure that my eardrums will EXPLODE from all the pressure and my brains will end up splattered all over my snuggly brown comforter. UNCOOL.
I'll default to the Wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_candles) on that, but it takes a real negative tone with it. Is it potentially dangerous? Yes, but just about as much as any medicine-- "folk" or clinical-- is. Actually most clinical medicines came from "folk" medicines, so I don't really understand it.
*shrugs* My family has done it and it's always worked for us. An alternative to that is having someone who smokes blow smoke in your ear and keep the smoke in with a cotton ball. It doesn't work as well, but it's good if you need something quickly.
