The rise of social media sites has meant that photos and videos can be shared worldwide like never before.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
As a result, trends develop from time to time where there seems to be waves of similar content rolling out during a given period.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It probably shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that content to do with our bodies \u2013 and all the weird, wonderful, fascinating stuff it can do \u2013 has proven popular online.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll likely be all too familiar with videos including pimple popping (gross!), cyst draining (double gross!) and earwax removal.<\/p>\n
But have you ever heard of tonsil stones? I hadn\u2019t, in any case, so when I saw a video on the subject,<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I decided to do what I do best\u2026 share the information with you lovely folks\u2026<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll admit to having a high degree of curiosity when it comes to all things related to the human body.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t necessarily think they\u2019re nice to watch, but the viral-craze of the so-dubbed \u201cpimple popping\u201d videos hooked me like a fish.<\/p>\n
That said, when I came across a related video concerning the removal of \u201ctonsil stones\u201d, I wasn\u2019t quite sure what to expect.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
To begin with, I\u2019d probably better tell you what exactly tonsil stones are.<\/p>\n
I hadn\u2019t heard of them before, let alone seen one.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I\u2019m alone in this, maybe all you readers out there are familiar with them. Then again, maybe not\u2026<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
As per the Mayo Clinic,\u00a0tonsil stones are hard white or yellow formations that occur on the tonsils. They\u2019re neither painful nor harmful, and can usually be treated with home remedies.<\/p>\n
The main causes of tonsil stones are trapped materials and debris in the tonsillar crypts, located in the \u2013<\/p>\n
yep, you guessed it \u2013 tonsils, those oval-shaped, infection-fighting flaps of tissue located at the back of your throat. This can include minerals, such as calcium, food or debris, or even bacteria and fungi.<\/p>\n
Now, tonsil stones are more common than one might think, though they don\u2019t always cause symptoms. When they do, said symptoms can include bad breath, a cough, earache, and a sore throat, amongst others.<\/p>\n
