Turns out I gave myself Swimmer's Ear, known in more fancy circles as Otitis Externa.
If you scroll down, you'll note that this particular ailment is most often found in frequent swimmers and "chronic q-tip abusers." Guess which one I am.
Apparently, I scraped away too much of some kind of protection and made a bacteria-friendly environment.
Meanwhile, I feel like crap, I think I'm getting a fever, and it's hard to eat or sleep. The best part is that, apparently, I'm not only uncomfortable, but an idiot as well. I did it all on my own.
