  • Description:
    Swimmer’s ear (also known as otitis externa) is a bacterial infection typically caused by water that stayed in the outer ear canal for a long period of time, providing a moist environment for bacteria to grow. Anyone can get swimmer’s ear, but it is most often seen in children. Swimmer’s ear cannot be spread from one person to another. ; Swimmer’s ear is not the same as a middle ear infection, which is common in children. ; https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/swimming/swimmers/rwi/ ear-infections.html ; CS 317355-B June 09, 2020 ; 317355-B_FS_SwimmersEar_508.pdf
