Tonsil Stone (Not an insect)

Found inside the crypts (crevices) of human palatine tonsils.

Formed from an accumulation of food debris, dead cells, mucus, and oral bacteria that calcifies over time.

These are inanimate objects that form gradually in tonsil crevices. They are often dislodged by coughing, sneezing, or manual removal.

Risks: Can cause chronic bad breath (halitosis), sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or ear pain. Benefits: None.
