In a similar vein, sometimes my breath feels sort of ‘milky’, even though I haven’t eaten any dairy products. What could that be?
Edit: Apparently this is not normal??
Try this experiment to see if you get the taste as well:
Next time it’s freezing outside, sprint for a bit so that you’re left taking deep breaths in the cold air by the end of it. That’s when I get the taste. My saliva also feels a bit thicker, probably due to the cold air.
You might be dying. Idk
I’m Canadian and I’ve inhaled my fair share of cold air. I have never heard of such a thing before.
I can’t relate to either of these experiences but I am unreasonably invested in the answer.
This. Exactly this. I’m dying to know.
Uhh… What?
I’ve never experienced that. Breathing in freezing weather smells like freezing weather. Dry, crispy, and icy. My saliva smells nothing like that.
I suspect that you have a sinus or oral condition. Perhaps you might speak to a doctor about that?
Wow I didn’t know that was uncommon, it happens to me too. I don’t have any clue what causes it unfortunately.
What word would you use to describe it?
It’s hard to describe, but almost sort of a metallic taste? It’s weird, maybe I’ll go take a sprint later and try to better describe it.
Yeah, I guess it could be described as metallic. But not like blood metallic
