Why do we have hair on our tongues?

Answer 1

No, it is not possible to literally have 'hair' on your tongue.

However, there is a condition commonly referred to as 'Black Hairy Tongue' because the tongue begins to look like it has hair or fur growing on it. This is due to bacterial colonies that can grow on the back of the tongue. You can also get "hair" on your tongue from "dipping" which is a form of chewing tobacco.

Usually, proper oral hygiene, including brushing the tongue with a toothbrush can eliminate the condition. For more information on this condition, click on the RELATED LINK below.
