Tonsils removed – yellow spots are crypt debris
Crypt debris from the tonsils comprising dead layers of shed skin, trapped decomposing food, bacteria and other micro-organisms. This debris provides a sheltered home for germs, forming biofilms.Antibiotics don’t penetrate into the crypt debris. Germs living in a biofilm state are resistant to antibiotics.
