Actually, I'm not joking -- There's some bleeding (there's some bleeding in that area all the time just from touching it trying to brush or from biting it -- Much less now that I've trimmed some) -- There's no pain involved because the nerve connections haven't grown to the new tongue -- I rinse the area out thoroughly with peroxide and then the oral rinse I got post-surgery -- Essentially, it's like trimming a hangnail...
