Is it possible to have hair on your tongue?


Answers:
Hairy tongue (lingua villosa) is a commonly observed condition of defective desquamation of the filiform papillae that results from a variety of precipitating factors. The condition is most frequently referred to as black hairy tongue (lingua villosa nigra); however, hairy tongue may also appear brown, white, green, pink, or any of a variety of hues depending on the specific etiology and secondary factors (eg, use of colored mouthwashes, breath mints, candies).

Does this mean you have?
Or have you met someone who has?
Interesting
yes,,every time i lick beavers
Yes. My cat's always got hair on his tongue. I don't think you can actually grow hair on your tongue.
Yes. There are cases in which people who chew tobacco can develop hair on their tongues? Are you a tobacco chewer?
yes, that's why I make her shave "it"
The existance of hair requires the existance of hair folicules. yes it is possible, if the ginetic code was damaged or altered to do so. But I have yet to ever hear of a case it has happened. but possability and reality are two things.
Are you referring to abnormal hair on your tongue? Because there does exist a condition called "Hairy Tongue" or "Hairy Black Tongue", but it's not very serious.
yes, if your g/f isn't shaved, i get it all the time, but at least it doesn't get caught in my teeth
I don't think that is possible but there could be a big possibility that you may have an over grown taste bud or you are pending to much time down there it could of gotten tangled once again with a taste bud and it hurts to pluck it out heheheh
The tongue should be covered by hairless squamous epithelium, plus nerve receptors for touch and taste. If hair follicles developed there, the condition would be a type of "hamartoma'.Most of our body cells contain all the same DNA. but only certain genes should be "switched on" in specialised / differentiated tissue. Sometimes, a mistake is made, during differentiation, that results in the wrong genes being expressed. Then, you get the wrong tissue type for that location in the body; a hamartoma.
It is possible, but very improbable.
