Or just one really big one?
Sorry, since you also threw in excitation I'm stuck on Higgs priapism.
(bold mine) Puts me in mind of a riddle I heard as a kid:
Q: How many balls of yarn would it take to reach from the Earth to the Moon?
A: (obviously) One, but it would have to be REALLY big.

I don't know what Peter would say to that (he is 88 years old after all)

Have you tried the boogeyman? It didn't work for me, but people still do it, so it must work for some kids.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

You can think of it as the Higgs field having a base excitation that is always there everywhere (which appears when electroweak symmetry breaking occurs) and gives mass, and when you have an excitation beyond this, it's a higgs boson.
Perhaps a more fruitful question would be what are the particles called when they're at their base excitation?
Which brings me to question 3.
3. Since the bosons or whatever in the higgs field are annihilated when they interact with quanta, how is it they never run out?

At their base excitation there is no particle!
Why does the vacuum not run out if higgs bosons get annihilated in interactions? Excellent question, difficult to answer, let me think about it!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Did I say inching? No, millimetering. If there's no particle then how can the hf continuously interact with quanta? Unless the field is in continuous super excitation.

I think this last question slipped down the page a little bit.
