Floss-related injuries

.

With this post, I am starting a petition to have the Surgeon General or the FDA or somebody put warning labels on dental floss.

See, my tongue hurts.

Friday I was caught completely off guard by my floss. There I was, flossing as usual, and the floss caught on the tip of my tongue--perhaps on a taste bud--and pulled the edge of my tongue all the way down between my teeth. A portion of my tongue was gone, turned to blood. Today, three days later, my tongue has a white sore at the site of the trauma. It hurts.
