Following mention of tattoos affecting the immune system, I thought this might provide useful info.

Hi MeSci,

maybe a poll asking appendix removal may be interesting .... It seems researchers that studied natives in Papua New Guinea found that the appendix is an important part of the lymphatic system and that a western diet has reduced its usefulness .... just a thought ...

cheers.
