Having candled before, if you follow the directions it's not overly dangerous. I can see a problem if you don't follow directions but that's pretty much with any product isn't it? My ears have also felt very clean afterwards and has seemed to help open up my ears for dive trips - which is my reason for candling.
Perhaps I should have used green or some other colour text as I tend to "hyperbolize" at times. It was partly a sarcastic comment and partly exaggeration...perhaps turquoise would be a good option...
