Answers:
that is seriously weird!. cut his tongue off for being so creepy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your brother actually has a point, assuming he's using a metal spoon!. Most tongue cleaners are made of plastic, which is more porous than metal, therefore they are more susceptible to contamination - which is why you're supposed to replace them periodically!.

As long as he washes the spoon thoroughly every day and it isn't used for anything else (like, say, eating), there is nothing wrong with your brother's choice of tongue-cleaning utensil!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't imagine using the teaspoon after he has scraped all his manky germs off his tongue with it!! Can he not get one of those toothbrushes with the tongue thingy on it!?!? My nephew refuses to use any cutlery that his Aunty Betty has used, as he thought she was a bit unclean!! I would never ever contemplate using anything that somebody had used to scrape their tongue with!. You would never know if the teaspoon you were using was the actual "one"!! I would steer clear of all small cutlery items, until I had a sure fire guaruantee that the teaspoon that was used was now sitting in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well as long as he doesn't use the teaspoon to make everyone else tea I don't see what the problem is! Both a teaspoon and a brush are equally unhygienic!. If he's that bothered he could rinse them in mouthwash or something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The brushes you can buy are made of rubber! SO they are not porous and cannot collect any muck on them!.!.!.you can boil them! What a GROSS habit!.!.!.!.I would buy him a special spoon and put it in a box for him to keep as his own if I were you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you can always use some floss and runn it through :]

you know theres mouth wash right!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is OK as long as you don't use his teaspoon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

odd, that's for sure!. i suppose a teaspoon would be easier to clean though!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

that is crazyWww@Answer-Health@Com

urgh - as long as you don't eat from the spoon after he's used it!

I must say that's very odd!Www@Answer-Health@Com
