I did a stupid thing six weeks ago. I dipped a cotton swab in cayenne pepper tincture (made from Habanero pepper) and tree tea oil and put it in my ear to get rid of a persistent itch about mid-way in the right ear canal. I treat new eczema spots with cayenne pepper tincture, tree tea oil, and lotion which always worked for me.
I had an ear ache and right-side neck ache for about 15 minutes that rated about 8 out of 10 on the pain scale. After that I was fine for the evening and the next day.
But at the start of the second day, I started feeling dizzy. I was fortunate to make it home after work. Soon after, the room was spinning wildly and I threw up a number of times.
After about a week, I was able to walk but like a drunken sailor. Soon I was able to drive but it was like if I didn’t have any sleep for a couple of days. I had about a few minutes of stability after two weeks but it has been weeks since my last fleeting stable moment.
The mild drunken feeling is still constant. Did cayenne pepper tincture inflamed my inner ear nerves? Cayenne pepper isn't suppose to be inflammatory. I’ve noticed that hearing in my right ear has improved a little bit but the same inflammation may be negatively affecting the nerves to the vestibular part of the right inner ear causing mixed signals with the left inner ear. I don't know.
Is my Eustashian tube blocked? I try popping my ears and I think I popped them but I can't be sure. I have no pain or fluid backup in my ears.
I did a suc*** punch to my poor right ear and it appears that ears take quite a while to get over a shock as this.
Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what could be wrong from the cayenne pepper effect to my ear? It appears I'm the only person in the whole world who has done this. I'm not dizzy from some infection, or some disease. Cayenne pepper is only supposed to bring blood to the area of application, NOT CAUSE DAMAGE!! So what the frickin' hell could be wrong??
And could castor oil drops help? Would Dr. Christopher's B&B Tinture help?
