/ck/ - Food & Cooking

There's a New Yorker article on gut flora which says that non-vaginal births are infection-prone because they were supposed to pick up a massive cocktail of bacteria on their way outta ol' vaginal canal. Likewise it describes a guy who suffered chronic infections in one of his ears and not the other one. After numerous medical visits and no relief, he successfully cured it by transferring earwax from the healthy ear into the infectious one (apparently coming up with this idea on his own, dude must've been mashed on some high-grade).
