How it felt different from the flu
The metal flavor in my mouth was actually the first symptom that creeped me out because it was the first symptom that I’d never experienced before. You don’t get metal mouth with the flu or a cold. That taste really made me understand there was an intruder in my body. We hear of COVID-19 originating in an animal (reportedly a bat), and I think for many – certainly for me – that’s what really makes you feel yucky when you get it. It seems like this virus isn’t even meant for humans. But a lot of this did just feel like the worst flu I ever had, until the metal taste. That was unprecedented for me.
