      idk man. the tins I’m drinking out of don’t really ‘taste metallic’, whereas when I got shot up with radioactive elements, I definitely described it as “having a metallic taste in my mouth”.

      (Oh and the answer is ‘radiology’ — shooting people up with radioactive elements is literally everyday stuff. There’s a whole branch of medicine about it; “nuclear medicine.”)
