I just want the swelling on my balls to go down why do I have to taste soap for a week straight to do that?
When I was on antibiotics, I could smell everyone's breath, like the potency was up 10x. it was the worst superpower
Sometimes I wonder how much our sense of smell could be much more sensitive but is generally just numbed and neglected into subconscious territory. I know someone who will sit like 6 feet away from everyone at all times when they’re pregnant because everyone just smells so bad to them.
There are people who can smell medical conditions. Parkinsons in particular has a distinct yeast smell: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/23/820274501/her-incredible-sense-of-smell-is-helping-scientists-find-new-ways-to-diagnose-di
random thought but maybe something salty might help, I know adding a vanishingly small amount of salt to coffee can cut through the bitterness, maybe it'd work with your fucked up antibiotic mouth
try eating a pickle
I will never eat a pickle you can’t make me. Maybe chips though.
idk why you don't like pickles, you can spice them a lot of different ways, you can pickle a lot of different vegetables. Have you never had lime juice quick pickled red onion and jalapenos on a taco? shit's good

I can’t stand vinegar. Ketchup makes me gag. Even just smelling Chiavettas makes me nauseous. My autism has gifted me with the palette of a toddler. Which makes the soap significantly worse tbh.
You could always try to make your own pickles with other sources of acidity. There are a lot of users on here who also looooooove to ferment their own pickles, which iirc does involve vinegar but at first it's just salt and bacteria do the vinegar thing on their own. I haven't tried it though so idk how vinegary it would smell/taste. I did try to make some pickles with lime juice instead of vinegar and they turned out okay, but if I did it over again I'd probably do half water, and then 1:1 vinegar and lime juice, because they tasted too sweet.
Do you cook for yourself? Just wondering because I used to be an incredibly picky eater, like, I'd eat buttery white rice as a favorite food/staple but even changing the brand of it would make me gag. But I started to learn to cook and through that process and learning how different flavors are formed and interact I've grown to like a lot of different things I wouldn't have eaten before
I do cook for myself. I have obsession meals that I make with very specific brands of food and have gotten good at making for myself. But I realized recently that I have no mind’s tongue. Someone was trying to explain the difference between bitter and smokey and I told them I’d need to taste the foods to know what they were talking about and they got confused. And flavors don’t blend well in my mouth. I’ve repeatedly had people think I was exaggerating how much I disliked sour cream and coffee and would try to hide it in things to catch me secretly enjoying my Bad foods. But afaik I’ve caught it quickly every time. I just taste multiple tastes at once, not how they taste together. Kind of like how cheap crayons just color over each other instead of blend.
There are naturally fermented, vinegar-free pickles. Bubbies is one brand that prepares that way and they're great

I am generally wary of new food but will trh to find some of those. Bitterness in general I’m not good with. Can’t drink anything with coffee in it. But I’ll check those out because my partner loves pickles.
cilantro is antibiotics :thinking-about-it: but only for the people who think it tastes like soap :galaxy-brain:
:surprised-pika:
I remember when this emote was called :pikachu-vore:
I once had epididymitis. It was a pretty mild case, thankfully, but enough for me to be quite consistently uncomfortable.
Solidarity and best wishes to your junk, comrade :rat-salute-2:
