I generally have a decently sensitive palate... food stored within close proximity to bananas or ripe melons taste like those fruits; crackers after being opened for a few days start to taste like their cardboard box; I can pick up flavours in foods that other people tend not to notice.
But lately my taste has been extra sensitive and it's really starting to ruin food enjoyment for me! I just ate a strawberry -- which looked totally fine, the rest in the box are totally fine, and I had to spit it out as soon as I bit into it because it tasted like mold! And even though I've washed my mouth, I can still taste mold.
Last week the same thing happened at dinner with a potato -- I prepped them, cooked them, I know there were no bad ones in the bag, but one of the pieces I had tasted so strongly and grossly of rotten potato I had to leave the table and spit it out.
Over the past few weeks my dishwasher has reeked like wet dog/wet eggs after anyone makes anything eggy. We've been pre-washing egg utensils/dishes, and washing them twice, and I can still taste and smell that wet dog/egg smell on our cutlery, plates and glassware. It's really unappetizing. And becoming wasteful and we're washing dishes twice. (the dishwasher itself is fine and clean, and this only happens when there's something that's been used on eggs put through the wash. It's not the dishwasher being dirty or anything).
Does this happen to anyone else? You go through a period of hyper-sensitive tasting?
It is really unpleasant!

Water that is making my taste buds more sensitive? I'm not sure. I only drink bottled water because I can't stand the way the water in this city tastes (loved loved loved the tap water in old our city).

No, I meant the water you are using to prepare food, wash food, wash dishes. You just said the water is nasty. Maybe you need a reverse osmosis filtration system?

Oh, I see. I doubt it's that, because why would one bite be horrible and everything else is fine? Or food one day is OK and not the next? I didn't say the water is nasty, I said I don't like the way it tastes. It doesn't taste BAD it just doesn't taste right to me. There's nothing *wrong* with it, I just can't stand the way it tastes.

Certain medicines can cause extra taste or smell sensitivity or what about zinc deficiency?
