shroom
I think you are right about it being a "sign", because I have (identified)
parasites and this is something which is in the repertoire of my physical symptoms. I cannot say for sure if it is related, but I have surmised in the past, the glands direct;y under the ears are involved in the many processes affected by responses to low level chronic infection. Could have something to do with the salivary glands.
