It's not possible to actually swallow your own tongue (unless you cut it off first, of course). It is, however, possible to suffocate from your own tongue if you're unconscious and your tongue falls back into your throat.

I ditto the answer that it's not really possible without cutting it off. However, a myth about epilepsy says that one can swallow one's tongue during a seizure, and I wanted to point out that it is a myth. What happens is exactly what was said. The tongue blocks the airway. This can be prevented by turning the seizing person on his/her side. Do not attempt to insert anything into the mouth, because the person's teeth will clamp and you may be badly bitten.

You are all actually incorrect. There are some people who can swallow their tongue as a sort of "freak" talent. I happen to be one of them. just look on youtube.com and you can witness some of our freak talents.. Next time research things before you answer people! Danielle

Feel the little latch or piece of skin attaching your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. OR try to swallow your own....hahah it is impossible. It may cut off air flow after the muscles relax. Some people are so gullable and believe everything they hear. Suckers!!!

Its actually impossible to SWALLOW your own tongue. Danielle does not actually know what the word "swallow" means apparently. Swallow means "To pass through one's esophagus" If these people on youtube swallowed their own tongue according to Danielle, it would pass through their esophagus and this would only be possible if their tongues were disconnected from their bodies. The people on youtube simple fold their tongue backward and it is indeed hidden at the top of their throat. It is impressive, but it is not swallowing. Next time research things before you attempt to tell people to research things and make yourself look cool and smart Danielle.
