Black Tongue
Posted: 10-10-07 17:10pm

My son who Robert is 32 yrs old called me yeaterday and told me he woke up with a black tongue. He did not eat anything the day before that would have stained his tongue! He does smoke. Also, about 2 weeks ago he had a lot of blood in his stool. Please help

I'm no doctor, but blood in the stool sounds serious. Tell him to go to the doctor!

There is a condition called Black Furry Tongue, it's where a fungus grows on your tongue overnight, all you have to do is brush your tongue well.

I used to get it in High School, I'd wake up with an old cheese taste in my mouth and kind of gagging, it just happens when the conditions are right in your mouth for that fungus to grow.

It's completely harmless.
