There's probably nothing out there that can put the "fun" in fungus, and what this person just went through is no exception.
Redditor rumblepup had a serious earache, and when he went to the doctor, he discovered that he had a fungus growing in his ear canal.
#1 He is apparently suffering from a fungal ear infection known as otitis externa.
But you probably know it as swimmer's ear.
#2 The doctor told him it had nothing to do with his hygiene, and that the condition is quite common.
I used to get ear infections as a kid, but they were never as gross as this. If you need me, I'll be cleaning out my ears...forever.
