Really weird: pine mouth

This is one of the weirdest things to happen to me, and it's terribly so here's some words of warning:

Yesterday lunch i suddenly got a really metallic bad taste in the back of my mouth. Stuck with me all day, so when I get home I google it. Turns out there's something called 'Pine Mouth' coming from eating chinese pine nuts, or possibly any pine nuts that gone off.

It tastes seriously bad, and according to google it'll last for days / weeks. I'm hoping for days, weeks would utter suck.

So, when you buy pine nuts, make sure they're proper fresh (they should taste nutty, not sweet) and aren't from china. This taste sucks, it's awful. bleurgh!

more info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_nut (at the bottom, 'risks of eating pine nuts')

or just google it, it's all over the internets

Sorry, I had to laugh! Hope the taste goes soon...

I'd laugh too, it's so fucking strange.

You couldn't make it up... Hope it clears up soon, dude... :]

Quality. I would make a joke but that would be in bad taste....

I'm very very sorry

more googling: it usually goes after 8-12 days. nice one

I think I've had this before, without knowing it was to do with pinoli. I eat them all the ffing time.

Would mouthwash help?

chewing gum helps while you chew, it's back the moment you spit it out

google says ginger and pineapple will help. I'm getting loads for lunch

Thanks for the warning.
There's'always an old bag of nuts knocking round my kitchen.
Gingers great for cleansing the palate.

(I've just re-read and old bag of nuts sounds a little strange)

does that mean most shit stays in your mouth for 8-12 days?

Is it pineful?

It sounds like a real pine in the neck.

I can see this thread going to seed already.

Yes, I feel your pine.

It sounds like a real pine in the neck.

Shouldn't that be "pine in the mouth"?

That would have been a lot funnier.

I had this a year or so ago. It was horrible, I thought i might be able to overpower the metallic taste with beer but it didn't work. Just made my drink taste like crap.
It only lasted about 24 hours for me.

are you sure your flat mates aren't pouring pine fresh air freshner / toilet duck into your mouth while you are sleeping

Don't go planting ideas in his head.

swallow a bit of summer meadow fairy liquid to get rid of that horrible pine nut taste

Not nice, but probably better than potty mouth?

Maybe he's just a bit of a conehead? ;)

Sorry, this thread is just too inviting for appalling jokes. In reality, I actually sympathise and am grateful for the information, as I quite like pine nuts.

it's fine, no need to hold back

fyi, ginger beer works a bit (couldn't find real ginger). Also got a tin of pineapple that might help, I'll keep you posted

Lunch tasted shit btw, penne arrabiata with fuckloads of chili doesn't clear things up

my boss bought me ginger, fuck yes!
