Ive noticed on a few occasions, that if I have a meal that has carbs in it, ie a little bit of potato etc my left ear turns red and gets very hot.

This cant be connected can it?

People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
Maybe you are allergic to spuds or carbs ! :shock:

Some people swear by ear reflexology so there could be a connection. Must admit it's not one I've done but I knew someone who used ear reflexology to help drug addicts :shock: and they swore by it. You'd have to do some serious testing to convince some people though :)

Its really odd to be honest, but not just with spuds unfortunately, my ear will just turn bright red and burn like mad for an hour or so. Oh well, guess its just one of those things eh :roll:

How strange Daz! :?

My ears burn when I have a curry but not any other time, is it only your left lug and never your right?

Hi Nigel, yes just the left ear, sometimes it wont happen for a while, then all of a sudden its everyday, its a bit odd isnt it. Have to see doctor this week so will mention it to her but I doubt she will say much :roll:

It is rather odd but still worth mentioning to your gp just the same.
