    I have no clue what this person is talking about but I identify with the strong desire to be understood for nonsense connections that your brain insists are totally rational.

    I actually think I know what they’re talking about, I have hit my head to the point of needing staples to close it, and I sure do remember a distinct “taste” in my mouth. I wouldn’t say it’s seafood but… There is something to it.

    Idk if it’s just brain being stupid and sending wrong signals because of the trauma, but still…

      I always thought the taste of a hard head hit was like how some (latex?) paint smells? It is almost like a clean fish smell!

      This makes some sense to me

    Hit head, bite tongue, taste blood. Blood is a bit metallic. Canned tuna sometimes has a metallic taste. I could see how someone might associate that with seafood.

    Could also see a jostling of the brain just causing all kinds of random shit to be perceived just due to the brain freaking out for a moment.

      No no, I can taste that too, there’s no blood or biting involved. Happens when i hit my head really hard, eyes go dark for a fraction of a second, and the taste appears.

    Hmm, I have a taste that I associate with pain, but I don’t think it’s seafood. I don’t eat a lot of seafood though, doesn’t suit well with me.

    Whenever I injure myself enough to bleed I get a metallic taste, kinda like the iron in blood I guess. I could see how someone else might get a more salt water seafood taste if this happened to them
