    I have discovered that some patients (not all) have a metallic taste at the back of their mouth.
    i had to read this twice. The first time I thought, why is she tasting her pts mouths? I get it now.

    I have only noticed the taste with prefilled syringes. It tastes "chemically"

    TY for scientific rationale...I've experienced this many times so partial to going slower with flushes for those person experienceing this phenomenon. Many also very perceptive to odors in the environment too.
