Can piercing your ears affect your health in any way?

Considering reflexology says all the human body is linked to a part of the ear, hand or foot...

1. Never pierce your ear with something.. Its really dangerous and can cost U very much in the later oart of UR life.. If its tht serious U can contact UR nearest doctor immediately.
2. YES! if you do not do it properly. contaminated needles and piercing tools can cause infection...
3. My Chiropractor told me that alot of important nerves are in your ears where you tend to pierce them. I do not recall the details,except you can cause health problems in other parts of your body.
4. No it does not affect your health, until you use sterile technique to pierce your ears. If not sterile then diseases can be spread from others to you. Locally it may cause mild inflammation and even an abscess. But to overall health no special risk is there.
5. NOPE U CAN PIERCE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY NOTHING IS HARMFUL.....ITS JUST THAT THE PIERCER SHUD BE HYGIENIC
6. An acupuncturist told me that piercing the tragus ( the little projection from the side of your face in front of and just over the ear canal...look it up on the www for a picture) would affect a person's appetite. There are other sites on the body that are commonly pierced that he suggested should not be pierced. Check with an acupuncturist for more information. God Bless!
7. infection but that is about it. Cartilage peircing on the other hand can casue more problems.
