    I read somewhere that it could be due to dental problems. Your probably tasting the iron in your mouth, I'm not sure I remember completely but it could also be related to kidney problems. You can look it up(:

    i don't think it's weird..i smell blood at random times when i'm alone..and i have no idea where it comes from. sometimes the air has a blood taste to it too (which isn't as weird as it sounds). it's just a metallic aroma..kind of..rust-ish. i think it's normal cos i'm not the only person i know who's experienced this.

  • a metallic taste in the mouth w/o the presence of blood is a sign of kidney failure. But I doubt that's the case because you'd be dead by now. SO FUCK IF I KNOW!

    Could it be that your 'super sense of smell' is just picking up the scent of various women who are menstruating around you???

    Could be gum disease but it is most likely due to your sinuses. At times they will allow you to taste something akin to a metallic like taste that is similar to the iron taste of blood. This would also explain why you smell it.

    I can smell and taste blood quite often. My gums bleed because I have gingivitis, so I use listerine a lot.

    But I don't think you're trying to get at a medical problem. i think you're trying to get people to ask if you're a vampire....

    i find it surprising that u've had this sensation since grade school and have never asked a doctor. i'd advise u to see a doctor, it could be a medical problem. you shouldn't neglect things like this.

    that's not really weird. i can taste blood, and smell it. it smells like rust and salt. *shivers* it's yucky.

    hmm. Maybe your nose or mouth could be bleeding during those times. Do you pick your nose a lot?
    Do you have good dental hygiene?

    It should feel good to you. Most girls would love to be nibbled on. Sometimes when I'm alone I nibble myself.

    It doesn't sound bad, but seriously, something could be wrong with your brain that would make it sense the same thing even when its not present.

    People with brain tumors often smell and taste the same thing... usually burning, but it can be other smells and tastes as well.

    I advise you to go get checked out.

    Sometimes I can taste blood when I bite the inside of my cheek, but it isent bleeding.

    I can't taste blood when it's no there but I can smell it if someone is bleeding. I wonder if your senses are just more tuned to it, you can taste it because it's pumping through you and you can smell it just because it's around. It's a little unusual but not completely abnormal.

    Getting a doctor to diagnose you wouldn't be a bad idea, i can see the tasting blood a bit more normal, since certain foods can make your mouth raw (owwie) and if when that happens to me i often get the taste of blood (mainly if i eat something really hot, and get burned a bit, but the salt from something like chips will do it for me too)

    What part of the blood are you smelling/tasting? It could be your are smelling the iron in the blood. Maybe it is the salt. If so, think about what other things smell and taste similar. If you are really worried ask a doctor. If you call your doctor you can ask a nurse practitioner for free. They may not be doctors but they have alot of medical knowledge.

      I just might do that, but I'm not really all that worried.

    thats...weird. i knew someone that licked their own blood if he injured himself. i asked him why he did it and he said it was a waste of blood. a little off topic but meh.
