Prolly a spider that had crawled into my fountain drink straw or viewed another way when I vomited up a metronidazole pill that I had worked very very hard to swallow without tasting and immediately vomited again as a result. If you're unfamiliar it's the antibiotic pill that makes you taste metal.

Paxlovid does that, too. It's so much worse than it sounds. The only thing that I've found which helps at all is pineapple. But you have to be continuously holding pineapple in your mouth.

It's the only pill I couldn't take. I ended up getting vancomyacin instead, which is a lot more expensive. It felt ridiculous, but when you throw up after taking it you don't really think it'll go better the second time.

I.never tried the pineapple trick. I did try coating it in thick stuff like honey. It pierced right through
