I had mine removed when I was 8, figuring that this could be
heridary(hey I can be parinoid too), and being a new dad, I looked up,
and asked doctors.

Now I'm repeating this from memory, so don't beat me up. I was told
it's not like it was 2 decades ago where they remove them because they
are troubled. It's understood they 'sacrifce' themselve in an
infection to protect the body and isolate the bacteria/virus and
attack it.

Now a set of requirements need to be met before removing them.
Something about size? Anyone know what this is, and if it actually
applied in today's medicine?

later,
