From your link:

"Black hairy tongue is more common in men, people who use intravenous drugs, and those who are HIV-positive."

So, what really went on over there?

[Sgt_Schultze]

One has to be a cunning linguist to get hairy tongue.

[Glennb51]

That right there is funny; I don’t care who you are!

[DeFault User]

No, no, not that too!

[Uncle Miltie]

I had it once from a too-clean mouth.

Essentially, I had to back off on the mouthwash and eat some yogurt to let enough healthy bacteria grow in there.

Then the good bacteria crowd out the bad bacteria.

Scurrying off to brush my teeth for good measure.

I guess I’m prejudiced, thinking we have the best doctors here in America, but I’m really surprised he could not get treated over here. Maybe no policy would cover it. Ten long embarrassing years of talking, laughing, eating, yawning with your hand over your mouth? I cannot imagine.
