which, when I walk into a room, I taste.

I've forbidden my students to use certain products, and openly said, "Because they taste horrible." "But you're not eating them?"

The chemicals are in the air. They're water soluble. Saliva dissolves them. I taste them.

They taste horrible.

Just because it works with some chemicals doesn't mean it has to work with all chemicals.
