More Serious Skin Problems. The main feature distinguishing chronic hives from more serious skin disorders is whether the welts are filled with fluid. If the red bumps are itchy, inflamed, and filled with fluid, the condition is most likely hives. If theyâre hard and filled with other material besides fluid, and if after a skin test the lesions have a brownish color, thereâs most likely an underlying problem.
In the case of salty taste, taste-active ingredients are salts of sodium, potassium and lithium. The most common of these is, of course, table salt, or sodium chloride. When the salt dissolves into the saliva, it separates into positive and negative ions. Only the positive ions (sodium, potassium or lithium) have an impact on salty taste.
Normally, saliva has a high sodium and chloride composition; however, because the amount of salt in saliva remains consistent and taste buds adapt to this, our saliva does not taste salty. Taste alterations may be due to CNS pathology, head and/or surgical trauma, middle ear infection. Additionally, an excessively salty taste in the mouth can be attributed to an increase in the saliva salt concentration or to an increased sensitivity of taste buds to salt which in turn may be due to the following reasons: Medications side-effects:~400 medications may cause alterations in taste sensation; Dehydration
