Reply to comment by TTVmeatce in TIL that the largest tonsil stone on record is nearly 6 inches. by eleanor61

A self administered tonsillectomy over time, picking them down to nubs seems more than interesting

My crypts have enlarged over time due to stones growing and shifting and shedding. Manual removal can definitely contribute to that, and the shape of the tissues might therefore lend to slimmer appearance of the organs
