- So that I could use one of my Christmas presents, I had my ears re-pierced
- a day or so ago (at a store, not by a doctor). After shooting me with the
- earring gun, the clerk gave me a botle of "Ear Care Solution," which I am
- supposed to use to anoint my earlobes three times a day for 6 weeks.
-
- The solution lists as its active ingredient benzethonim chloride 0.13%. What
- is this stuff (some sort of anti-bacterial, I assume), why can't I just
- use H2O2, and is it really necessary to use it for so long?
-
- Idly wondering,
