Do Strangelets Pass Through Earth?

Weirdolet writes: "Ananova are reporting that ultra-dense, pollen sized strangelets (aka nuggets of strange quarks) travelling at 900,000 miles per hour hit the earth, violently pass through it and have done on at least two occasions already. It's also reported, allegedly, in the Sunday telegraph but I haven't found it there yet :P Coming to a particle accelerator near you soon ... ?" Another reader has found the story at the Telegraph.

Just curious when it gone thru and how it can affect health?

You wouldn't notice you'd be either exploding or the house would be collapsing on you from the resultant earthquake! :o) Most of science isn't plausible when you think about it anyway! Cutting-edge science even more so.
