#1. Check bacci moisture ( IMHO- I let flake bacci go almost crispy )

#2. Check packing

#3. Slow sip'in
Now that you have been bitten, give yourself some time to heal. Try using some warm salt-water rinse or Biotene. Also green tea with honey has helped me as well in the past

smoking makes great suggestions, I would also add to pay attention to which blends are biting you. I cannot smoke any blends heavy with red virginia's because of a body chemistry thing, you may have the same issue as it is not that uncommon.
I also think that packing too loosely will create a hotter smoke so make sure you have some decent resistance before lighting up.

If it was tongue bite meaning a reaction to the alkalinity of the tobacco, try smoking a different blend or mixing something else with your blend.
If you burned your tongue, take it Slow and Easy.

Aside from the good advice given on how to avoid it...if or when it happens, the best treatment I’ve found is real honey such as linked below (not the stuff typically found at the grocery store).
