I wanted to eat some apple cobbler, and when I put the spoon in my mouth, the taste of the metal was so strong that I couldn't even really taste the cobbler. What makes this happen??? Someone must know. Either that, or it's something insignificant enough that no one ever bothered to find out. Or it just happens to me? Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? It's kind of a nastygross flavor.
It's making it hard to eat anything with a utensil. Mess may ensue.
[edit]
Another uncommon reason for a metallic taste in mouth is due to small electric currents in the mouth. When two types of metals are used in two different dental fillings a battery can be created. Some believe that it's due to the mercury leakage from dental silver/mercury fillings.
It has also been associated with B 12 deficiency, zinc deficiency, Bell's palsy, Strep throat and Sjogren's disease along with anything that causes dry mouth.
