<s>[INST] 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 [/INST] HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and looking to the given history here I could say that chances of infection either bacterial of fungal is very likely and this need to be clinically examined this is the only option you have, better to see the ENT surgeon for this, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day. </s>
