It almost tastes like the food is mouldy or rotten. Some call it a metallic taste. It's much more noticeable with subtle-tasting foods, or when drinking water, or when you haven't eaten at all, or in a while.
If you've had the vaccine, and the bad aftertaste, did you have 1 or 2 or 3 doses? And which vaccine was it?
Did the bad aftertaste go away eventually? After how long?This is me.This is not me.I'm pretty sure this hasn't happened to me.If you want to, you can also talk about loss of taste.
Did you lose your sense of taste permanently? If you lost it, but it came back, how long did it take to come back?
But I'm more interested in the bad aftertaste.
Yes, I've had Covid, and a bad food aftertaste. ☹
Yes, I've had the vaccine, and a bad food aftertaste. ☹
Yes, I've had both Covid and the vaccine, and a bad food aftertaste. ☹
Nope. I've had Covid, but no bad food aftertaste.
Nope. I've had the vaccine, but no bad food aftertaste. 🍀
Nope. I've had both Covid, and the vaccine, but no bad food aftertaste.
Holy shit I have dysegeusia. It's caused by the vaccine. aka parageusia is a distortion of sense of taste. It causes foul, rancid, metallic, or salty taste perception. It is attributed to medication use. According to an article in Toxicological Sciences, more than 200 medications are known to cause taste disorders, yet drug developers often overlook this side effect. Further, specific medications are known to have this side effect. journals.sagepub.com/.../01455613211033125
Since contracting Covid, or getting the vaccine, do you have a weird, bad, aftertaste in your mouth after eating?
I had covid last year and I lost smell for one month. I tasted sour, salty and sweet but I had often false smell of burned plastic while eating. Now I have covid again it's day 11 and I didn't lost smell. Vaccine didn't affect my smell sense at all. As dentists you need a strong immune system. It's not possible to protect yourself in 100% against water-saliva aerosol that surrounds you. Everyone in clinic where I make my internship had covid and lost taste for 4-8 weeks. Taste and smell loss is a neurological effect that happens just one time. Some people smelled hay, others bad teeth and I had the pleasure with burned plastic. Honestly I never heard this happens due covid vaccination, are you sure you don't have other symptoms like slight fever and sore throat?
Yes, neurologic. That's what I read many months ago but I don't remember in what article. Also hormonal and something else... metabolic or something. This is one of the reasons I've been extremely concerned. I'm certainly open to other possibilities here. This is why I asked the question. I had heard of one other person talking about it. But just because something isn't widely known or publicized, doesn't mean it isn't happening. Especially with all the political and governmental propaganda surrounding this now. I could say I have, perhaps, slightly reduced sens of smell (I normally have a really, really, sensitive sense of smell and there have been intermittent times I felt I could barely smell something I used to), but other than general fatigue (nothing like couch lock), can't say I have any other symptoms. Definitely not fever or sore throat. What's also disturbing is that some people with covid are asymptomatic. But other than the very bad taste, I feel about the same as usual. My husband thinks I could have covid, based on some reading he did. But it's only a chance, not a strong possibility, I'm guessing.
This is great info, thanks, by the way. And I did just go to a dental office for a cleaning four days ago. But I've had this taste issue crop up suddenly for 2 wks now, prior to that. Which is just 3 wks after having Pfizer.
Long infection causes always slight tissue damage in nasal cavity, when cells which replicate the virus die off due antibodies. In human body nerves and fine blood vessels are placed below Periosteum ( outer layer of bones like white thin leather) but in skull and jaw bones it's different, there lie nerves on the surface of Periosteum tissue. Nerves damage due mucous membrane infection could explain few days lasting loss of smell and taste sense, but those long losses happen very likely in brain. The other option is, the vaccine caused some overreaction of T-cell and these t-cells attacked specific nerves in your body. Similar like this happens by multiple sclerosis. Those vaccines aren't properly tested and have been thrown on the market very hastily.
Personally I wouldn't take any pills like Zinc or Vitamin-D which boost immune system reaction as long as you don't have any cold symptoms.
That's great information and advice, thanks. I will avoid boosting my immune system. I really hate taking all pills anyway. I find almost nothing is innocuous.
I have had Covid. I lost all sense of taste and smell for about a month at least. I didn’t eat anything for about a 10 days except for a small bit of chicken broth. I had no appetite at all. And I couldn’t taste anything anyway. It didn’t all come back at once either. Just sort of realized, hmm I can actually taste this. Also, my cravings are different now. I was a sweets person prior to Covid. Now I crave meat, like a juicy hamburger. I’ve never been like that in my life.
Here is what I found for you Is it normal to have a metallic taste in your mouth after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?
Developing a metallic taste in your mouth after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is a very rare side effect. When it happens, the metal taste occurs almost immediately after the shot.
I had two shots of the BioNTech vaccine (planning a third) and had a slight aftertaste for a few minutes. No other side effects whatsoever, feeling fine. 👍🙃
Thanks GoodGuy! Sweet of you to look it up for me.
This is not true in that article though. "Should I be concerned? If you develop a metal taste immediately after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, there is no reason to be concerned. While rare, it has been reported as a benign side effect that goes away on its own within a day or two." I still have it 22 days after getting the Pfizer. Hope like hell it goes away soon.
I just saw something about this recently. There's an actual name for it and a lot of people are reporting it. Where their ability to taste good food is completely destroyed. Some people can't taste anything accurately, everything they eat tastes like trash and rotting maggots
I'm fucking worried now. My sense of taste is really sensitive/strong and it's absolutely trashed now. Everything tastes rotten. Now wth do I do. I still haven't had the second shot!
I hate this shit, covid, vaccines. I'm so sick of the suppression of information.
A good friend of mine said this is more common than reported. She's a doctor. Let me know if you get better or find something that helps, okay?
And I hate it with a passion. It feels like those screaming the loudest that they are doing this for our health are the very same ones who are hiding any information that hurts the corporate and governmental takeover.
I never got any of what the media now calls "classic" symptoms associated with COVID.
My sense of taste has changed, however. Foods I wasn't fond of before I now enjoy, some of them a LOT! It's over a year now and that's something that hasn't changed.
Wow fascinating. So would you say it intensified flavours, or just changed your perception of them? And no flavours got worse then eh?
If you're interested, this is how covid/vaccine affects the brain: "There are two proposed mechanisms to explain URTI-associated olfactory dysfunction. The central mechanism hypothesis posits that the virus gains access to areas of the brain that mediate olfactory function (e. g., the medial temporal lobe, the insula, or the orbitofrontal cortex). This takes place through hematogenous spread or retrograde neuronal transport involving the olfactory and trigeminal nerves. Once the virus penetrates the CNS, it replicates and then triggers an inflammatory response that interferes with olfactory function. Such neuroinvasive capabilities have been thoroughly characterized for other members of the Betacoronavirus genus such as the mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), and evidence is accruing that suggests a similar potential for human-infecting coronaviruses [16]. The peripheral mechanism hypothesis states that olfactory dysfunction is the result of virus-induced damage of the OE. Under this hypothesis, hyposmia can be explained by the interruption of output from olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) in the injured OE." www.cureus.com/.../52351-covid-19-associated-parosmia-and-dysgeusia-a-case-series
I’ve heard someone on TikTok say it can take up to 12 months for her to get the taste back BUT if it’s past the 12 months by a week let’s just say, it’s a chance that she won’t get it back. Which is sad..
My heart beat is different.. it feels off.. also, headaches (almost every day), my taste and smell come and go randomly.. chest pain, sometimes I’m dizzy. I haven’t changed my diet or usual patterns. So it makes no sense, I noticed all of this after the 2nd vaccine.. I also had two miscarriages already. (My menstrual cycle is very different now)
Had COVID when it first came into the world last year. Got coerced into getting the vaccine against my will over a month ago. Haven't lost any taste, although I think it brought back my irregular heart beat.
Which vaccine did you get? I remember reading that due to heart condition side-effects in men from one particular vaccine, some country in Scandanavia has banned it. Good! Sheesh.
I can't say I have noticed any changes to my taste after getting the first 2 vaccine shots back in March. In all fairness though, I didn't experience any sort of side effects at all so maybe I'm lucky?
I should possibly be getting the booster in December so it may be different that time around.
My friend had covid and she said she lost her sense of taste entirely. She went into depression because of it. She said she lost all her joy in cooking food. It's been a year and it still hasn't come back to her.
Now that you mention it after the shot the only pork I can eat now is bacon or sausage. Chops, ribs, tenderloin, and roast all taste bad to me now! And I have issues eating beef unless well done now 😫
It sucks!! I have a really sensitive sense of smell and I've never gotten food poisoning from my own cooking, only outside food. I feel like now I can't tell when food is bad or not (like from being in the fridge too long.) This is bullshit. These particular vaccines are not innocuous. Which shot did you get? Mine was Pfizer. And I've only had one so far. I dread the next.
yes because of your post and going back to my one on eggs you linked I had to update her. Yes I now pretty much hate pork. I can only do well done beef now. No medium or medium rare, just well done. Otherwise I can't stomach it.
Nah nothing since... I've had the booster too. I did catch a cold the other day a d I was told I had bad breathe. But I couldn't smell it as my nose was blocked.
My mom and sister both got covid and later got the vaccine. My sister only had a weird taste in her mouth for a night when she had the virus. Luckily it didn't last long. For some people it doesn't go away for months. It's called parosmia
I wouldn't give much weight to the poll results. No option was provided for "I didn't get COVID or the vaccine". And this site has a lot of vaccine skeptics and covid deniers (so they'll say they didn't have covid even if they did, and therefore any parosmia couldn't have been caused by COVID).
Half of men who got the vaccine getting parosmia & none getting parosmia after COVID is almost the exact opposite of what scientific studies show.
Yes, I didn't say the vaccine can't cause it. That study doesn't give a percentage of vaccine recipients who experience it, though. 6 cases is nowhere near the amount of people who experience it after getting the virus.
Yes the tallied numbers are small right now. But I will expect them to be more documented soon. (It's not advantageous for governments to publicize it though, so doubtful. They'd much rather say covid causes it.) Anyway, the more I read about it, the more references to medication side-effects. Some are loss of taste, some are taste distortion, intensity, and foul/rotten taste. I have the worst one I think.
So it's not just the COVID vaccine. I don't think it's really a good look to be agreeing with these antivaxxers like mrkdvsn and mjthecoach who are saying the covid vaccine has uniquely weird side effects and that it's the mark of the beast etc.
It's perfectly reasonable to want to raise awareness of a side effect that can happen after the COVID vaccine and other vaccines/medications. There should definitely be more research on the topic so they can come up with a way to fix it.
The antivaxxers aren't your friend, though, because they diminish the credibility of people who want to raise awareness about valid issues.
I've blocked MJ. Once I read through everything I saw how unreasonable and extremist and rude he was being. I definitely do not want to spread misinformation. That's a very important topic to me. (Although disinformation is even worse.) I am for the flow of information. The question began as an honest one, and through it I have been able to find research which supports my correlation. I'm not an antivaxxer, but I'm also not taking everything governments are saying about the safety of vaccines. It has come to a point of suppression of information, and even propaganda. I want ALL the information. I've seen enough to warrant great concern. I'm going through every possibility, just happened to have got my teeth cleaned too (problem existed before that), and am not on any medications. But medications cause all sorts of taste issues, so that is something people should know. In my case, it comes down to the vaccine.
Getting this so-called vaccine could give you any number of weird or bad symptoms or physical consequences. I haven't had ChinaVirus or any shots of any kind. I can only keep saying to keep these substances out of your body
@mistixs Nope. I've vaguely thought a couple/few times that things had a bit less of an odour than usual, but that's not unusual for me based on how dry the air is in my place (we have a gas fireplace on a lot now, and that dries out the air some.) I smell everything (it's a habit, and because I can't avoid noticing.) I got very congested the days following the vaccine shot (my husband pointed out this potential correlation). It might have been an autoimmune response to the shot. I get allergic sometimes. So when I'm congested (the opposite of being dried out) I obviously can't smell well then. But there has been no distortion of smell at all.
I voted A, but it went away. I had the bad aftertaste for about a week followed by a week of not taste and then a sweeter aftertaste for a week and back to normal.
When I caught COVID, I had a bad fever and breathing issues but was completely fine after a month with no lingering symptoms. After the vaccination, I had no side effects other than the typical soreness you get from any shot.
Wow really. Most of the time that you get a metallic taste in your mouth it's because you have a concussion or you've been hit in the head that is really strange I would like to know more
I've had 2 jabs of Astra Zenica I haven't had any taste changes but untill recently I had a constant prickly heat feeling I'm due my booster jab next week I believe that will be Phizer.
Why would I do that I hardly know you and from the look of your other posts you sound a bit ignorant and backwards so I'm not willing to spend a penny on your funeral!
When you’re an anti-think you and you follow the crowd especially now might as well get yourself a coffin because you’re gonna be there the maximum 5 to 10 years that’s maximum probably sooner. That’s why the Bible said my people perish for lack of knowledge enjoy your shorter life. That you’ve got left over. Hope watching the fake mainstream payed off.
Ah your that kind of crazy I'd call you a fruitcake but that would offend people who like fruitcake. Bet you think the world is flat too. Well let's see who pops there clogs over the whole covid thing I suspect you and all the other nutbags like you will be thinned out a fair bit by your lack of faith in science
You’re the hundred person who has mentioned this. that’s why you’re a brainwashed fake mainstream follower clown. because you believe in this you must believe in this there’s no point of talking to you. you’ll be dead soon one last fucking parasite on this planet good luck and a little small time you have left on this planet you fucking cancerous piece of shit. Thank God this C0ViD vaxx were made to cleanse this planet from toxin parasites like you!
You’re not out of shape and you don’t eat dirt flush and you don’t sit on your ass and you’re not an anti-fitness because you’re smart you do all this shit because you eat toxins you take toxins and you do toxins. Because you’re toxic.
At least the difference between you and I Iz when I talk, I talk from my own brain when you talk they just bunch of memorized and now see the crap from the fake mainstream media.
Welcome to the world of anti-thinkers! 90% of the world took the Mark of the beast thinking it is for the health and all those people are going to die before 2030! Not only die but signed themselves up to for Satan.
I’m actually disappointed shock to see the amount of incompetent anti-thinkers I knew he were generally extremely stupid but not to this level.
The mark of the beast is on the right hand or forehead, not injected into the left arm (most people are right-handed so they get vaccines in the left arm)
They have to condition the sheep before the final blow. There aren’t the current vax is all you goanna see! First the sheep need to condition. First temperature check. 2nd condition stage get used to get poison injected into your body. Last stage mark of the best injection. I like how you only can see what you see now. Not see what’s coming. Just like vax passports were called conspiracy theories.
I like how you said in your original post that 90% of the world already took the mark of the beast & then once you're proven wrong, you move the goalposts to say it's just preparation for the mark of the beast
What the hell are you talking about you’re all over the place you douche bag I just want to ask you have you ever been punched in the mouth for talking a lot of bullshit? I said 90% of people in the world are not thinkers just like you all you do is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and because all that blah blah blah nothing goes in because all the time you’re yapping horseshit.
I held out for what I thought was as long as I could. The deal breaker for me is that December is almost here and I haven't been allowed entry into a sit-down restaurant since late October. I'm sick of it! But yeah, I fucking regret getting it now. It wasn't worth trashing my sense of taste and having all food taste rotten now. I care a lot about this topic. I've been following it, reading scientific articles the whole time, wrote about it here. It's all so fucked up, the whole thing. They're estimating 700,000 more people in Europe will die this winter.
I have white fillings. I brush twice/d, have no mouth pain, and by coincidence had my teeth professionally cleaned three days ago, but this bad taste has been going on since before then.
The thing is the white filling slightly tears of while you brush rigoursly.
Its not a coincidence it's just the maintenance of it I think you would need more filling and it would taste like that once the filling is refilled for a week or two untill you get adjusted
Yeah they say that , bc they know they won't be able to do anything about it.
I have experienced the same and my friend is a dentist.
They say that cause they want to take your attention from it you know like sometimes if you concentrate you will try to scrabble the filling with toungue as it's external material on your teeth
Wdym, of course they could do something about it, replace them. It would be advantageous to dentists to tell their clients to swap out the fillings. It earns them more money. If the patient doesn't feel any pain, nor roughness, and x-rays come up clean, then removing them would be illogical. I've had my fillings for many years and this aftertaste issue started in the last two weeks, shortly after the shot, which is known to cause taste issues. Also, the aftertaste is after food, not before or all the time.
The filling is powder based and it tastes weird and irritates filling are chemical composition you need to be very careful with the ingredients and its usage they just can't give everytime for money it would risk the life of the person if overdone.
Well it's anyways my guess I highly doubt that it's bc of vaccine but o could be wrong
Because you’re an anti-thinker brainwash idiot! Soon you’ll find out… what are refusing to think for yourself means but I know you’re ready to argue and repeat the same thing you heard on the mainstream.
