So I have heard of a thing called a Crypt. These are in your throat, size may vary in any one, the size of the crypt isn't really determined. You know when you eat, sometimes afterwards, you cough up yellow balls? Those are just food deposits, and they smell horrible from what my Dad had said. Anyways, I have a huge food deposit in my Crypt, next to my tonsils. I have tried to get it out with a Q-tip, but my gag reflex is to superficial. I went to the doctor and should have grabbed toothpicks or something small to fish it out. I know this is a minor health problem, but if it leads to infection, I could end up sick, get Strep throat, and then Nephritis (kidney disease). So I don't think it will be highly likely, but I just have my doubts. cat_emo
