Happy Friday! Here is our fun fact of the week.

Did you know your genes can influence the type of earwax you have?

A variation in the ABCC11 gene determines whether a person is more likely to have wet, sticky earwax or dry, flaky earwax. Wet earwax is more common in people of African and European ancestry, while dry earwax is more frequently seen in people of East Asian ancestry.
No matter the type, earwax is important. It helps protect the ear canal by trapping dust, debris, and bacteria, keeping your ears healthy naturally!

Ears are designed to clean themselves by naturally moving earwax out of the ear canal. Most people don't need to clean their ears at all. However, some people naturally produce more wax than others, and if it builds up, a professional can safely remove it.
