Earwax has antibiotic, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties.
Researchers in Malaysia studied samples of ear wax from 31 patients. They tested the ear wax for growth of three types of bacteria and one type of fungus: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans.
Cultures of each of the bacteria and fungi were mixed with each sample of ear wax (or cerumen if you want to use the scientific name). E. coli was the only microorganism that did not seem affected by the presence of the ear wax. The other bacteria and fungi all showed significant amounts of decreased growth when the ear wax was introduced.
