Ear wax is useful

Ear wax or cerumen, is naturally produced by our body and helps to clean, protect, and lubricate our ears.

But if this honey-look-like-but-not-taste-like substance builds up excessively, it may block your ear drum, and then cause irritation of the ear canal and lead to a rupture of the eardrum. Sad, huh?

Cerumen is apparently constituted of 40% of fat and is a sticky and shiny substance (reminds me something else...)

BON APPETIT.
