    I did not realize there were inquiries: Please excuse me, I’m new.

    Your tongue is the fastest healing organ in your entire body, it uses an excessive amount of energy in order to heal your tongue 10x faster than the rest of your body. If your entire body were to heal at this rate, with the amount that your skin naturally replaces itself, compimented with the increased demand, you would starve to death.

    I was also not able to find a source for this. There was a source outlining and comparing the healing speed of the tongue by comparison to the body.
