You said that certain medications make everything taste salty. I have some weird reaction to those Cold Eeze cough drops.
If I eat one of those cough drops, it feels like there's cotton sitting at the back of my throat and everything tastes like salt, even sodas and sweets.
It's the weirdest thing I've ever experienced. I stay away from all Cold Eeze products now. I don't know what is in those that messes with my taste buds but it's absolutely miserable.
One cough drop makes me taste salt for 2 days.
Some shit is nasty. Some mild medications just to coat your tongue and block certain taste sensors from working. Then you get the stuff that overrides you. I've had times where everything tasted metallic. Almost as if aluminum foil had gotten into all my food.
When I go through phases like that, I will just eat by numbers. 5 carrot sticks, 7 grapes, 2 slices of bread. I have to do it that way because, otherwise, I don't feel like eating at all.
Hehehe, earlier this week, swill beer tasted like vodka. I guess it's not all bad 🙄🙄🙄
