UNPUBLISHED letter to the CBC

RE: A cotton swab in the ear can kill, Quebec coroner says

Dear CBC,
You raise valuable if shocking points in your article, "A cotton swab in the ear can kill, Quebec coroner says" . Death by Q-tip sounds like something straight out of Edgar Allan Poe but it is in fact a reality. I don't know if a warning sign on the box would help, because I honestly can't think of anything other than swabbing your ears that q-tips do well. Might as well stop making the things, as they can kill, I say. God had it right when he made our pinkys just big enough to not pierce our eardrums, and the folks at "Q-tip" could take a few "pointers" or "tips" from HIM.
And redesign their swabs promptly.
— Charlie Fergus
