I LOVE sour foods/candy but my mouth is too sensitive?!


Question: I LOVE sour foods/candy but my mouth is too sensitive.?
It's weird I know. Like I ate 4 Warheads but afterward my mouth was sensitive, and there was the tiniest bit of blood in the middle of my tongue. How do I toughen up my mouth.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Haha, I love sour stuff too! But be careful - the ingredients that give sour foods their sourness is acid! The most commonly used acids for this are Citric, Malic,and Lactic. (Citric acid is naturally found in, you guessed it, citrus fruits. Malic acid was first found in apples. And Lactic acid happens to be what causes that stinging pain in your muscles after running or exercising for a long time.)

So pretty much the only way to get your mouth to toughen up is to just eat sour stuff regularly to get it accustomed to it, just as people would do with spicy foods. Just be careful, since this is acid, and as you know, it can eat away at the flesh in your mouth if enough is eaten in one sitting.Health Question & Answer
