This Could Be a Job For Mulder and Scully

And Now For Your Daily Dose of Unsolicited Whine…

…I have dysgeusia. I am not making this up, I really taste things differently. I can also taste music, color, pruritus, light, darkness… no wait, that’s synesthesia.

No, really, I’ve been having dysgeusia for the past month. This should not be your problem, of course, but it’s fun insinuating personal minor concerns on other people, unless you’re on the receiving end. Water tastes like oil. Salty nuts taste like Styrofoam. But the weirdest taste I’ve been having is that Coke Zero tastes like Yakult. I’m too lazy to brush up on possible etiologies, so shall therefore ask: Differentials? Cancer? Auto-immune? Poor mouth hygiene? Too much drugs? Coprophagia? Taking metronidazole for fun?
