I know Biaxin does, but I'm not on that.

The only thing different about my protocol is I started Artemisinin yesterday and just noticed a few hours ago I have an awful metallic-type taste in my mouth... pretty much identical to the one Biaxin leaves as well, but I'm not on that and haven't been for over a year.

So just wondering... anyone else notice this with Artemisinin and/or is it normal with this herb? [bonk]

Yuck!

It didn't do that to me, so I don't know.

My son is taking it but he is not verbal enough to tell me. He is not acting weird about his mouth.

Yeah... makes me kind of worried. I have not changed ANYTHING in my protocol whatsoever (except upping Mepron to 3tsp a day) except for the Artemisinin, so I really don't see anything else that could have caused this... Don't know if I should be worried at all that this is a symptom today out of nowhere.
