11. Don’t Touch the Swimmer’s Ear

Estimated Cost: $5* Goal: Using cotton balls and Vaseline prevents water from building up in the ear canal.
Swimmer’s ear, a painful infection in the outer canal of the ear, is typically brought on by water that becomes trapped in the ear after swimming. This damp, wet atmosphere is a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to an infection that can cause redness and swelling in the skin, ear ache, itching, and irritation.

Cotton balls and vaseline can aid in preventing the development of swimmer’s ear. Apply vaseline to the cotton balls before swimming. After that, put them in your ears. By doing this, you can stop water from building up in your ear canal.
