Biometrics - New virgin territory "Ear Wax" (after "Under Arm")

“Our previous research has shown that underarm odors can convey a great deal of information about an individual, including personal identity, gender, sexual orientation, and health status,” said study senior author George Preti, PhD, an organic chemist at Monell. “We think it possible that earwax may contain similar information.”
