You don’t miss something till you haven’t got it.

From Wednesday I’ve had this weird taste in my mouth I couldn’t quite place. Whatever it was, it was making anything I put into my mouth taste nasty. I waited until the day after to try and do something about it, hoping it would just go away, but started on hopefully getting my oral hygiene up a little more *just* in case.

Last night, in my stupidity, I may have spent a little too long with the mouthwash.

This morning came as a surprise as I woke up early, my tongue aching as if I’d burnt it on some hot chocolate. Then I noticed, I couldn’t taste anything. Yes, ladies & gentlemen, I’d successfully managed to chemically burn most of my mouth with mouthwash.

Let it be me that does the stupid things in life so you don’t have to. I’ve checked for solutions online and I’ve taken some paracetamol to help with the pain while gurgling salt water until I can taste it again. It’s odd though, as right now most of my tongue just feels numb.

Hopefully it won’t take too long to heal, I’m supposed to be going down to London, then Egypt in just over a week and I want to be able to taste what I see there!
