I learned something new today. Apparently one possible use for both your tonsils and your appendix is to provide a hard-to-clean place for internal bacteria to congregate.
That way, if your system ever has to be purged, you can more easily replenish your bacteria stock without having to wait long periods of time to do so.
Final update on the tonsil: It's back down to normal size again, and there's a sore patch where I overzealously brushed it. The hair is nowhere to be felt, so it's a mystery where it went. It may have been absorbed by the tonsil itself, and thus would be keeping the bacteria and tonsil cheese company in there, OR it shook free and got swallowed or spat out.

you're not alone
I too have plucked a tonsil hair. At first I thought it was a small sliver that somehow got mixed into my food/ drink. But alas, after going to the doctor and being told to leave it alone, I said "**** that ". went to the art store to purchase a pair of long jewelry tweezers, went home and plucked it, smooth as butter. checked it out, totally a hair. a ****in' hair! in my throat! naturally, i freaked, did some online searches, and found this post. so, I guess what i'm saying is, you're not alone... but i don't think there's anything we should worry about. to tell you the truth, I'm not one of those dudes who never brushes his teeth and has smelly breath, but I don't exactly gargle or floss that much, and I think it's a matter of oral hygiene. according to medical journals it's "extremely rare" -- a dermoid or something. Apparently a lot of doctors don't even know about it. But, from what I gather, it's harmless, just strange. I don't have a history of tonsillitus, but I've had food caught back there, and that's actually pretty normal. Best thing is to gargle with salt water, brush, brush your tongue, especially, and maybe gargle with Listerine. If you feel that you have regular symptoms of something that could be an infection or otherwise a hindrance in any way to your breathing, painful swallowing, etc, contact an Ear/ Nose/ Throat specialist (Otolaryngologist)-- they're the ones studying up on this sort of thing and looking down ppl's throats on the daily. they chuckle at these neurotic posts in their pjs with a cup of non-caffienated tea.

Oh, forgot to mention. At lunch yesterday I accidentally chewed on a fork, and now one of my lower incisors is wiggling loose alarmingly.
It seems I go from one oral crisis to another This is starting to look like a GGG movie.
Yes, remember it like it wuz yesteryear, there I was deep in the bush country, my "boys" wanted to drop into a nice cushy landing strip, but no, I be all man, I wanted to work my way through thick bush country and yes, taste the wild berries that grow in the pucker brush, when out of the blew I heard a lamenting female voice, and knew, I was near to intervening in yet another of Dr Gramps homemade remedies of Oral Crisis Intervention
Its what I did then, not about me, hold the applause, I merely allowed the flood gates to open and another case was resolvedHi, I'm RAH and I'm a Benaholic.-rah

Well, I went to the dentist today about the loose tooth from biting down on a fork. She said everything looks fine and it'll heal up on its own, given a few weeks of light eating.
I've found I can't eat any sandwich bread or other tough food that requires incisor work. But fruits have no problems, and I find that bananas are pretty good.
A question for you, Grandpa Troll. When you were lost in the jungle beating around the bush in a humid region below the equator, did you by any chance come across a bald man in a leaking boat?"lol internet" ~ AAHZ
