It is not normal, but is harbouring dangerous multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria. These germs lie there waiting for an opportune moment when your immune system is weak to invade your body's vital organs. The notorious oncovirus Human Papilloma Virus also has an affinity for these infected tonsils.
