This woman had a reaction to Antibiotics and her tongue turned black and hairy…. its so gross

What would you do if you opened your mouth and saw hair and black spots all over your tongue?

It happened after this lady took antibiotics!

This 55-year old was complaining of nausea and a bad taste in her mouth was actually suffering from a rare condition known as “black hairy tongue.”   WHAT?  this is a thing?

A case report published in the New England Journal of Medicine said the patient saw her tongue turn black after being prescribed minocycline for a bacterial infection.

Others are saying this could have been caused by poor oral hygiene, use of tobacco or irritating mouthwashes and antibiotic agents.   The patient recovered within four weeks of stopping the minocycline. Doctors advised her to continue practicing good oral hygiene.  gross.
