Your Body Is Speaking
A sting in the mouth. On the tongue, on the palate, in the throat — there, where you speak, taste, swallow. Where you take in nourishment and send out words. Suddenly everything swells. The mucous membrane thickens, the airway narrows, and what was just a moment ago taken for granted — swallowing, breathing, speaking — becomes a struggle.
Medically, an insect sting in the oral cavity is an acute emergency, because the swelling can block the airways. Life-threatening. Rapid. Impossible to ignore. But psychosomatically, a question arises that reaches beyond the moment: why there? Why in the area that stands for expression, intake, and communication? Why at the threshold between inside and outside?
An insect sting in the mouth is no accident of carelessness. It is a wake-up call — loud, drastic, unmistakable.
