and by the look of you, you often get it Peter :o)
I've got chocolate cake with ginger and molasses to go with my lunchtime coffee ...
I had some lovely home made coffee cake and butterfly buns last night. Nom nom nom.
Did I say I love cake? 🙂
butterfly buns
unnecessary cruelty IMO - it must take 1000 butterflies to make one bun 🙁
humm cake
Remind me of baking a browine tonight if I am bored
Yeah but it's the real butterflies that give them the extra light texture. It's their rightful destiny anyway. 😉
Oddly some drugs that are taken by IV do indeed cause a taste reaction, I know this to be true from experience.
From http://www.chemocare.com/managing/taste_changes.asp
* Taste changes are common during chemotherapy. The exact reason for taste changes is not clear, although it is thought that it is a result of the damage to the cells in the oral cavity, which are especially sensitive to chemotherapy.
* About 50% of patients getting chemotherapy experience taste changes.
* Drugs most commonly associated with taste changes include carboplatin, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, dacarbazine, dactinomycin, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, levamisole, mechlorethamine, methotrexate, paclitaxel, and vincristine.
* Most people report taste changes involving a lower threshold for bitter tastes and a higher threshold for sweet tastes.
* Some drugs also produce a metal taste during the actual intravenous infusion. These include nitrogen mustard, vincristine, cisplatin, and cyclophosphamide.
* In addition, the association between taste of food and chemotheraphy may lead to taste changes. Chemotherapy loss of sense of taste can occur purely from the association of an experience of nausea and vomiting with chemotherapy.
* Taste changes may occur during therapy and last for hours, days, weeks, or even months after chemotherapy.
* Taste changes are also common in people taking biologic therapies such as interleukin-2, and interferons. Most people report taste changes involving a decreased threshold for spicy foods, describing most food as bland, bitter, like chemicals or medicine. Both the cause and duration of taste changes associated with biologic therapy is unclear.
