Visit China

Question:

I just got my tung pierced and I was wondering what are some thing I can expect to happen and thing I should be aware of. Right now all I’m doing is rinsing with Listerine after every meal and every time something comes in contact with my mouth…Underneath the bottom ball is a small amount of white stuff I wiped off. Is this normal. Thank You for any input Lori

The ‘tung’ is more properly known as the ‘tung nut.’ It grows on the Tung tree, which is native to China and other similarly exotic lands. The Tung tree is more of a bush, but nuts don’t usually grow on bushes; they do grow on trees. While inedible in its natural state, the tung nut is pressed–not pierced; that doesn’t help to release the natural goodness of the nut–to produce an oil, called (strangely enough) tung oil, which is one of the finest furniture finishes known. Exquisitely hard and beautiful, tung oil adds a soft luster and deep rich beauty to your woodwork and, once separated from the nut meat, is non-toxic. It’s also extremely expensive, with a gallon of pure tung oil costing between $65.00 and $80.00. Beware of "tung oil finishes" that don’t say "pure tung oil," as they are known to contain everything from boiled linseed oil (which contains metallic dryers including lead and cobalt, and which costs less per gallon than pure tung oil costs per quart) to mineral spirits. And since no regulation governs the amount of tung oil in a tung oil finish, a preparation containing a quart of tung oil in a railway tank car of boiled linseed oil can legally be called tung oil finish. What’s that you say? Oh! Your tongue! Uhh…yeah. No, there shouldn’t be white stuff coming out of that. Couple things I can think of: it’s possible that it’s infected. With the amount of Listerine you’re using, I don’t think that’s the case…you’re probably damaging the fresh pierce by washing it in alcohol as often as you do. Especially if you’re using it straight. I recommend changing to an alcohol-free antibacterial mouthwash, like Biotene, and mixing that 60% Biotene to 40% water. The ratio’s not critical…remove the cap, fill it a little over halfway with Biotene, use your well- calibrated eyeball to decide "yeah, that looks about right," then fill the lid with water and put the Biotene solution in your mouth.

I got my tounge pierced back in october.  It won’t be sore till tommrow or the next day and then it depends.  I’ve had friends whose thier’s didn’t swell where mine was swollen for 2 weeks.  Mine swelled almost completely over the barbell.  The puss is normal.  Your supposed to use a napkin to wipe it with.  Just be careful sticking your tongue out. Make sure  you lift it up completely when doing that. * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet’s Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet – Free!
