Solution to Bite and Bitterness

Good evening, I’ve been struggling with a problem that many in this community may find relatable- a bitter and biting pipe. No matter how well I cleaned my pipes, or what pipe I used, or what blend, they were horrible, acrid and bitter. Onto some other news, I’ve been fighting allergies with antibiotics and cough syrup. Those in the medical field may be making connections right now. Antibiotics can easily cause a multitude of side effects, with an altered sense of taste being fairly common. Before blaming a blend for poor performance, check wha medicine you’re on. My medications have made most things taste like a sour pipe, or a chunk of salt depending. They can also mess up the mouth PH, increasing tongue bite. Wait a while, and take care of your liver, and ask your doctor for something to help, since apparently bad tastes due to antibiotics can be a result of liver damage.

Edit: to those suggesting other remedies, those are appreciated. However, I should have specified that I rarely if ever had an issue with tongue bite, this was just to point out that sometimes medication can be to blame, not technique or tobacco.
