Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jordan</a>&nbsp;and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/davidcsmalley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David C. Smalley</a>&nbsp;break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions.
<h3 class="p1">On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Where did the practice of ear candling originate? It's got to come from a noble, ancient, shamanic tradition and not some hippies out to make a buck, right?</li>
<li>Ear candling is a thriving industry that rakes in about $1.2 million a year.</li>
<li>Are there risks to placing a hollow, burning candle in your living human ear canal?</li>
<li>In spite of any of its potential dangers, at least ear candling gets rid of excess earwax and other debris like it's supposed to, right?</li>
<li>If ear candling is so hazardous to your health, the FDA or some governmental agency is on the case to have it banned, right? Right?</li>
