funny looking tongue - itsthatdo

[ArchivalUser]

why is pernicious anemia associated with a fissured tongue?

[ArchivalUser]

fissured aka cracks on tongue
vitamin b supports this muscular organ
without it the mucosa, papillae and taste buds begin to die/dissappear
cracks or fissures begin to form
years of deficiency causes for bigger cracks/fissures
different vitamin b's have different effects of tongue, but when you cant maintain appropriate levels for one, you likely cannot for all

not a real answer, just an association. if anyone know path / physiology about this feel free to share. thanks
