It's one of those things that happen to other people, but never to you. The odds are however, that given time, most things will.
This morning I was habitually hovering over the bathroom zinc and reaching for the tooth paste that I keep in a drawer. I applied a liberal dollop of paste on my tooth brush and began dutifully scrubbing just as the dentist once told me. But wait a minute! Something was wrong -- not the usual "extra fresh" minty taste of my Aquafresh, rather it was a medicinal taste that rapidly took on a penetrating heat that I had never experience before...At least not in my mouth.A quick, all-too-late check of the tube from which I had dispensed the paste(?), revealed the shocking truth. It was the RUB-A535 "extra strength" liniment that I ill-advisably keep in the same drawer. I couldn't believe it. After a slug of mouthwash and a proper application of tooth paste, the heat sensation in my mouth gradually began to subside.
My usual coffee this morning did not taste the same though. I wonder why?
The upside of all this is that I have the freshest mouth in town today. The RUB-A535 is now kept in another drawer.
