For example, if you get a piece of popcorn stuck between your teeth somewhere, it feels like your tongue can find exactly where it is, but when you go to reach for it with your finger you can’t feel it. It feels like your finger is ‘blind’ and touching the wrong area.
Does this have something to do with your tongue being in your mouth all the time so it’s ‘familiar’ with the environment as opposed to your fingers? Is this a sensation/perception issue?
In: Biology
Cuz the tongue has more nerve endings making it more sensitive to touch and finding things. [https://www.quora.com/What-part-of-the-body-has-the-most-nerve-endings](https://www.quora.com/What-part-of-the-body-has-the-most-nerve-endings)
