Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering a few drops of mineral oil into the ear is a safe and effective method to immobilize and extract an insect from the ear canal. This method can suffocate the insect, making it easier to remove and reducing the risk of the insect causing further irritation or damage to the ear canal. Other substances listed may not be appropriate for this situation and could potentially cause irritation or harm to the ear.
