Given the oversized size and global reach of the internet, you never have to look far to find online content that shocks, amazes, amazes, or repels.

With the advent of social media, photos and videos can be shared around the world like never before. As a result, trends develop from time to time where waves of similar content seem to follow each other over a longer period of time.

It’s probably no surprise that content about our bodies – and all the weird, wonderful, and fascinating things it can do – is very popular online. You probably know all too well the videos about getting rid of pimples (disgusting!), draining cysts (doubly disgusting!), and removing earwax.

But have you ever heard of tonsil stones? In any case, I had never heard of it, and when I saw a video on the subject, I decided to do what I do best… I’m sharing the information with you, my dear friends…

What is an tonsil stone?

I admit that I have a great curiosity about everything that has to do with the human body. I don’t necessarily find them pleasant to watch, but the viral craze for so-called “pimple eradication” videos has captivated me like a fish.

However, when I came across a video about the removal of “tonsil stones”, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

To begin, I’ll better explain what exactly tonsil stones are. I had never heard of it, let alone seen it. Maybe I’m the only one in this case, maybe you all know them, dear readers. But maybe not…

According to the Mayo Clinic, tonsil stones are hard, white, or yellow formations that form on the tonsils. They are neither painful nor harmful and can usually be treated with home remedies.
