question: Is there a bacteria or virus that smells like super glue? I have my tongue pierced, I have had it for four years now, and my tongue ring smells very bad almost like super glue. It's even effecting my breath a little. I've looked online, and many have said it's normal for the piercing to smell because it's the saliva and bacteria in the mouth interacting with the metal. And also because germs build up on the tongue ring. My tongue doesn't hurt and looks perfectly fine. Is not infected or anything. I was just wondering if this is normal and if there is a cure
