Tongue Sensitivity
Q: Whenever I eat sweet candies with lots of artificial sugar, such as sweet tarts and skittles, my tongue swells and is very sore, almost bleeding? Is this an allergic reaction or can it be explained by something else?
A: I think you may have an allergic reaction to the artifical sweetner and also to the tartness of the candies. It is your taste buds on your tongue that are being affected.
