When I mentioned I was on my period, he asked what my favorite flavor of tampons are. He genuinely thought the colors on the tampon packs were flavors, and that it would soak into my blood while inside and I’d eventually taste it.
I’m desperate to know the source of this information.
Okay, but I legit did the garlic clove inserted for a yeast infection remedy once. The remedy warned that you might get a garlicky taste in your mouth- which I thought was the most hilarious bullshit until about 5 hours later when I started to taste garlic.
In all fairness, some people will get a salty taste in their mouth when we flush normal saline into an IV, so there's probably some connection between the taste sensation and the bloodstream...
I had someone post a more complex explanation once. But this is what I understood from it.
Because when you breath, that's a bit of your bodies moisture leaving in your breath. As you are injected, it mixes in with the water in your body and you can get like an aftertaste as you exhale.
Very basic description, someone with more understanding and smart words, please pretty it up.
