I was eating ravioli yesterday, and the vodka sauce was a couple degrees hotter than I woulda anticipated...
And by a couple I obviously mean more than a couple.
You know when you put something really hot in your mouth and it burns like hell for a couple seconds and then you're better again?
Yeah, no, that's not what happened to me
The sauce was pretty damn hot when I put it in my mouth, and it was painful af. But yesterday, I was naive, and I thought I'd be okay in a couple minutes.
That was..wrong.
Of my body parts that I thought would cause me pain, I seriously didn't think my tongue could do any damage. But it's literally BURNT. There's little red bumps on my tongue and it hurts every time I talk.

I was eating Pringles, which are salty (jus like me!) and it kinda stung.
But thennnnnnn I had a clementine. Ya know, that orange citrus fruit with a low ph?
Self induced pain: eating a clementine with a burnt tongue
Big shoutout to all my amazing nociceptors for working overtime.
Really. Ya shouldn't have.
It feels like my tongue is burning away...
Imagine setting a matchstick to your tongue, and then not being able to put the fire out. Ouch.
Completely unrelated, but isn't it weird to think that the tongue is the only muscle you can actually see and touch?
I wonder if tongues can flex.
