Licking A Cause of Blindness

I always wondered why my tongue couldn't reach my eyes.

Those clever Japanese.

Eyeball licking fad among teens can cause blindness and pink eye, experts warn

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Eyeball licking, a teen fad that started in Japan, can cause blindness, "pink eye" and other health problems, health experts are warning.

News of the trend among Japanese teens called oculolinctus, also known as "eyeball licking" or "worming," went viral last week after the Chinese news site Shanghaiist reported on it.

"This is a dangerous practice which has the potential to spread a number of bacteria that reside in the mouth to the eye resulting in bacterial infections such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) to styes as well as abscesses involving the lids and eye socket," Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency medicine physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, told CBSNews.com.

So harajuku, tentacle porn, uniform moshing, visual kai, lolita, hard gay and all the other things that make Japan strange wasn't enough, they had to go for licking EYES too?

I learned from this thread that you can get chlamydia in your eye.

I also saw an erotic image of someone slurping an eyeball out of its socket.

Japan is super interesting.

[star-warrior]

Do you ask the tonguer to scrub their tongue and brush their teeth and mouth rinse with strong antiseptic first before you let them?

 

[SaskGuy]

Anyone who does that deserves it.
