Anyone ever had "Pine Mouth"?

Carter thinks she's got it. Reports on the web differ on how long it'll last etc.
She thinks she got it from eating pignoli nuts that may have come from China....

She thinks she got it from eating pignoli nuts that may have come from China....at least she's not blaming it on a certain grumpy furniture maker we all know and love

When my mouth tastes like a forest floor it's not usually from eating nuts, even Chinese ones.

Thorne, GREAT link you posted. Lots of additional info in the comments section.

I've never had pine mouth.

There's plenty of weird to go around, though. Once, I lost the ability to taste sourness for a couple of weeks. I thought it was an allergic reaction to some tropical wood I was working, but then Maggie got it...and then, my neighbour. I asked an ear-nose-throat doc about it, once, and apparently there's no such thing. :rolleyes:

Basically EVERYTHING taste horrible...even my wine!

Would that be the same one that just spent thousands of dollars and hours of toil building the "Paul Plessner Memorial Front Porch" so that a certain svelt character wouldn't slip on mildew, or fall through rotten decking?...... That Grumpy furniture maker?....:rolleyes:

It's in memory of the way Paul whinned like a 5 year old girl after he slipped on the mildewed fron porch at last year's EBS. Sorry I couldn't stop it from raining for the 89 days straight before the EBS (Or the deluge we experienced that day!). It was almost as bad as Joe nearly passing out after knicking his palm with an oyster knife the year before. :D ;)

Maybe the metallic taste comes from using arsenic as a pesticide? You didn't see any bugs on them did you?

Maybe the Chinese will start using spent Uranium to irradiate food? We can send all our old stuff over there.
We could haul it in trucks down the Silk Road from Europe....then the whole route could glow, and be seen from space....ooooo!

Sorry, just getting a bit carried away.

I think enough Tequila will fix that. You might ask Glen or Mr. Oz of Texas. :)

SWMBO complained of something similar during the first trimester.

Pinemouth sounds awful, but Pinetop is pretty good.

I've had potty mouth a few times. Seems to be a recurring problem.
