It's frightening, since tongues do seem to bleed forever! But they do heal fairly quickly - I was so afraid my Monkey was gonna look like a lizard forever, but you can hardly tell he ever did it!

Horrible I am, cause I saw the pic and went Oh Wow and leaned in for a closer look. Made me think of that kid that fell over while carrying a fork and it went up through his nose and he had these three big puncture marks looking somewhat like a three fanged snake had bitten him on the nose. They can stitch the tongue, but only do it when really truly bad, as it has such a high blood flow it does self heal very quickly, and also the stitches would get caught in teeth and rip out and make a worse mess, so not worth stitching unless very severe.

There was blood everywhere. When we got to the doctors, he was very relaxed and said that it would heal very quickly and it did. It is not like you can stitch it or put a plaster on it. Scary all the same. My son did this many years ago after falling off a slide at the park. There was blood everywhere.

That looks like it must have been so painful. And I am sooooo glad that I didn't see it the day he did it either - I probably would have lost my lunch too.

And, yes, tongues are phenomenal things. I had had a tongue piercing for years and a couple of days after taking the stud out the hole was all gone. It was very sad. :( But I can imagine what this looked like when it first happened. The thought turns my stomach a little too. I think i'm glad you didn't get a photo the day it happened. Yowch.

This did go nearly all the way through. Thankfully his bottom teeth damaged but didn't cut through the bottom skin so it held together. Did that just heal itself when it was cut all the way through???? Oh Frogdancer - that is awful!!!! This did go nearly all the way through.

He bit right through his tongue, with only side strips holding it together. It was revolting. Whenever he showed people they'd recoil in horror. Now all he has is a scar running across his tongue. It didn't affect his speech (though sometimes when he doesn't shut up I kind of wish it did!) Jack did this when he was four.
