I had no idea tonsillitis was contagious, or that there were even multiple types. I had viral tonsillitis, which is the first time I ever experienced the “joy” of not being able to swallow or speak easily. My tonsils were swollen but looked nothing like some of these beauties.
You really should try to keep all your body parts and your tonsils form part of your immune system. The only reason to consider having them removed is if the condition becomes chronic. I was back in shape after two days of a strict regimen of gargling with warm salt water and taking a witch’s brew of apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper and salt.

Vinegar? Pepper?? Ouch! I can’t argue with results, however painful your brew sounds.
I still have my tonsils; I am one of the few. I have all of my superfluous pieces intact – gall bladder, spleen, appendix… although I am missing a brain….

Have you spoken to the Wizard about the brain thing?

Ha… I’m still waiting on that. Out of stock.
I am also adding that I have just realized the absolutely disgusting (yet necessary) art of relieving one’s tonsils of pesky “liths”. I can’t believe what I found in there. I just had to tell you.

Liths? Oh, you mean “chunks in the throat.” I had a blast, quite literally, milking mine for all they were worth. I just can’t believe the mileage I’ve gotten from my caving lamp. Has to be one of the best things I ever bought.
