'Pine Mouth': Nuts Can Ruin Taste for Weeks?

If everything you ate suddenly tasted bitter, metallic, and for the most part vile, you might think something was seriously wrong with you -- but it could just be the pine nuts you ate yesterday.


Virtually undocumented before 2009, a recent slew of "pine mouth" cases have brought this strange affliction to light. A day after consuming certain pine nuts (it is not known why some batches cause this and not others), sufferers will be unable to taste anything but a bitter, metallic taste, no matter what they eat, for weeks.
