Man Grows Green Hairs On His Tongue After Smoking Cigarettes While On Antibiotic by Nelson7474(m): 10:28pm On Jul 15, 2023 |
In an unusual case, a man from Ohio, USA, has experienced the growth of green hairs on his tongue, allegedly due to a reaction from smoking cigarettes while taking antibiotics. The intriguing occurrence was recently documented in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The research publication highlights the case of an unidentified 64-year-old smoker who visited his doctor after noticing a change in color and the emergence of a fur-like texture on his tongue, resembling a transformation akin to that of a werewolf. Doctors diagnosed the man with a condition known as a hairy tongue, which occurs when the filiform papillae on the tongue, small cone-shaped protrusions containing taste buds, enlarge and become discolored due to a buildup of debris and bacteria. This abnormal coating gives the appearance of hairs, which can grow up to nearly an inch in length if not regularly scraped. The elongated papillae can act as traps for substances such as bacteria, food particles, and yeast, creating a resemblance to an oral gill net, as reported by the Daily Mail. The American Academy of Oral Medicine notes that hairy tongue can manifest in various colors, including brown, white, green, or pink, depending on the specific cause and other factors, such as the use of mouthwashes or even consuming certain candies. The peculiar case of the man from Ohio experiencing green hairs on his tongue adds to the intriguing and diverse manifestations of hairy tongue, shedding light on this rare phenomenon within the realm of oral health. 1 Like

This is hilarious I personally dislike smoking as I see it as an unhealthy habit. He should see his doctor asap because what I'm seeing might be more serious than I think. Stuffs like this is capable of generating mouth odour and in extreme cases it can lead to the gradual decay of the tongue. 1 Like |
