My taste buds disappeared for a good couple of weeks, gotta say I was very dischuffed and on the brink of giving it up altogether. Luckily I didn't, and they've returned and i can taste most flavours now again, though there's still some that aren't quite "hitting it", whether that's me or the flavours I dunno, but with a 80% success rate on juice, i'm willing to put up with it.  |

Mini simple Wiki follows, may help explain: The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they're replaced every 2 weeks or so. But as a person ages, some of those taste cells don't get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That's why certain foods may taste stronger to you than they do to adults. Smoking also can reduce the number of taste buds a person has.
From reading other stuff on tinterweb, I think the replacement can be a bit cyclical, i.e. there are times when you don't have so many taste buds while new ones grow, this may go some way to explaining why we lose our or our sense of taste or it reduces from time to time. |
