SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinoisans who want to look a little more reptilian will have to go through medical personnel or face jail time.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday signed into law a measure that restricts the practice of tongue-splitting.
Some people are taking piercings and tattoos another step by getting the end of their tongues split in half. The result is a forked tongue like a snake's.
The legislation would bar anyone but doctors and dentists from performing the procedure. Offenders could face up to a year in jail.
Some who have had the procedure done say they do it for shock value, while others say it's a spiritual experience.
But supporters of the new law say the practice is dangerous and could lead to infection.
