Why do you "taste the oil" after injecting?

[cptgranite]

Yes I've had that taste lots an lots of times, and yes usually when in the quad. I tad worrying, but goes quickly, Ive also had that feeling like some chemicals could be going through your lungs as you have a bit of a cough and weird sensation. has never been anything other than a bit worrying, but you do wonder about embolism now and then.

Never had this happen once.

I have no idea.

P.S. I actually thought this thread would be about literally tasting the oil by licking the needle after an injection...

The visual of this actually had me laughing out loud....for a while

Here is your answer:

You hit a vein. Where does the vein take blood? To the lungs to get oxygen, to then be pumped by the heart back into arteries to take to the tissue. Soooo, when it hits your lung and you exhale, some of the substance comes in the vapor out of your mouth and across your tongue and you taste it.

I used to be an IV meth addict. Real cool I know. But - talk about tasting the substance. Holy. Shit.

PS - don't do meth. Take care of your body, workout, and do steroids.

Your exactly right, He is probably injecting in the same spot. And I know one time in particular I hit a vein in my glute and defilnitely tasted the oil in the back of my throat

What usually causes this is. When you put a pin into your muscle you pass through a series of veins and capillaries. After you have pushed the gear into the area and remove the pin the gear doesn's stay in that spot completely.
YOu have probably had the oil come to the surface a time or to. However the oil is trying to find a way out and some of it gets absorbed into the small veins and capillaries you have passed through.
hence the taste.

thats it,altho i have never had it happen to me

I get the same thing. Sometimes i burp up the oil and it spills down the side of my mouth.

And what does that have to do with "taste". When I get a cut on my skin, I don't "taste" whatever is that cut me that got into the blood or capillarys. I don't believe any of this. It does say there are taste buds in the lungs, but they only taste "bitter" things, and don't send signals to the brain.
