Have you added a new nasal spray or changed yours lately? I only ask because I kept getting this woodsie, floral smell in my nose & it wouldn't go away!!
I switched deo, switched shampoos, tried everything I could think of THEN I ran out of Flonase & the smell disappeared. Refilled my Flonase, started using it again & hello smell!
Needless to say, I no longer take Flonase. The generic Flonase had an odor to it too.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Hm, I wonder if I'm getting sinus infections. Periodically when my lungs are getting bad, I will get what I tell my friends is "toxic snot"... mucuous that comes from sort of the back of my throat, not my lungs, and it smells/tastes very different. It's almost floral smelling/tasting like Lynda said... it tastes "blue" if that makes sense. o_O It's also not sticky like lung-mucuous... it's either very dense and hard, and dark green, OR, squishy and spongy like ... a quiche, or something. Sorry, it's gross, I know.

Do you guys also get a funny taste in your mouth with the bad smell?
