Is it okay to eat pepper?

Answers:
It can be irritating and get caught in the piercing, but after the first week you should be ok. Just remember to clean your teeth after eating, and rinse with Biotene or some other alcohol-free mouth wash when you're done.
You should avoid spicy foods, because of the particles of spice, but also because the heat can make the swelling worse. It's best to stick to soft cool foods. Nothing too hot, or too spicy. If you can keep the swelling low, your healing time will be much quicker.
Once it heals properly, you'll still get stuff in there, but it won't have as much effect.
On a side note... The only thing worse than getting a bit of pepper or chilli stuck inside the piercing is getting a bit of meat wrapped around it that you're trying to swallow... I ended up in a restaurant trying to cut tough meat from my piercing (while gagging) with a pair of swiss army knife scissors that I'd fished out of my bag... Not pretty.
Not good but u must eat properly
I guess so
No, it might hurt your tongue,wait for 3 days, let it heal, then you can enjoy the pepper again.
hello
the hole will remain open..
there is no say so on that.. but i do know you have
to put foods not near it. because of germs etc..
and it does have to be rinsed with listerine.
best
It's probably gonna hurt like hell if the piercing is brand new. I would wait a week or two before adding pepper to the food.
