I'm not sure how serious that question was, but I remember
reading somewhere that seeds are *not* a cause of
appendicitis. It's sort of an old wives' tale apparently.
I read a paper somewhere on the Internet where some
researchers reported on a series of cases of appendicitis,
and didn't find seed material in any, or maybe just one
out of many.
