Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

If some people spoke no evil, their head would explode.

I know it's gross but urine is sterile (usually) so there's no real danger from bacterial contamination from it. It's the bacteria that come from the bowel that causes "swimmer's ear", which is very painful. (I had it once.)
are you kidding me . that is what swimmers ear comes from?
disgusting. I thought it was just water not drying properly in your ears

Said our service manager to a lube tech who screwed something up.

No, it's not really "fecal matter". Our butts have the E. coli growing on the outside areas of the mucus membrane and it gets into the water that way. It's a bacterial infection that grows in a moist environment, as when the ear canal is constantly wet from swimming every day and not drying out well overnight. It's the E. coli bacteria (usually) that caused the infection and when the water isn't properly chlorinated, the bacteria lives on in the water to get into your ear.

Actually, bacteria and people live in a mutually beneficial relationship.

by itself, or in itself, or of itself.

I see it a lot, too, only way too many people spell it "per say".
