Why do I taste blood?

When ever i eat food i get a blood taste..its been there for a while.

Could having 1 cap in my mouth effect the taste of my food?

Answer 1

It's probably not actually blood you're tasting.  When you taste blood, it's actually a combination of salty and a metallic taste.  If you've had this taste since you got the cap then it could be related if your cap is made of metals.  If the cap is white or tooth colored, it's probably not metal.  If your teeth and gums aren't very healthy, you could actually be bleeding when you're chewing.  If this is the case, you should mention it to your doctor or dentist.
