I'm aware of how dry my mouth is because I got an unknown cut on the side of my tongue that hurts when I drink water, and it disturbs my function. Even eating is torture. Why, body why?

Despite millions of years of evolution, how can we still accidentally bite our tongue even when eating at a 'casual' pace? And then the bitten place swells up and becomes minor ulcers.

This post is me trying to relate how attuned we are to bodily sensations that this little thing can ruin our experience as a whole, ugh.

What are your icks about the state of your body that you can't just ignore?
