the type of earwax you have comes down in part to your skin type, Dr. Shapiro explains. People with oilier skin may have wet earwax, while those with drier skin tend to have dry earwax, she says.
People of East Asian descent are more likely to have dry earwax, while wet earwax seems to be more common with everyone else
I’m going to doubt the single gene hypothesis. I have dry ear wax in one ear and wet in the other.
Is there any chance you’re a chimera?
Do you notice that the amount and/or scent of your perspiration is different comparing the two sides of your body?
Did you wash one ear and not the other?
Or did you sleep on one side on a sweaty night?
