For me some abx combinations did this. With Clarithromycin there was an icky taste, too- kind of metallec, in that case. Other combis yielded all kind of ranges of tastes. Rotten food tastes sometimes, too, but always with a "toxic chemical pvertone".

hi!
I have had this too.I have stages where I can smell everyones breath real strong and it is not good.I kept complaining that my husbands breath was so bad and when he asked others they said no it was OK.So for some reason we can develop smell irregularities.Quite normal as lyme goes,

Take care,Sue from Downunder.

My husband smells wet ashes from time to time. Yet I'm the one with the "BB" Bad Brain.

Dr. Brian Fallon discusses this as "sensory hyperacusis" involving taste, touch or smell. Smells may seem overly intense & noxious.

The ABX are hitting one of your cranial nerves I guess.

You'll have to scroll way down to heading of "Sensory Hyperacusis."

"The Neuropsychiatric Manifestations of Lyme Borreliosis"

Good Luck,
