What Causes Metallic Taste In Mouth And Numbness In Lips?
Question: I was in my house when exterminator put gas in the attic. I now have a metallic taste in my mouth and slight numbness on my lips. I have had it now for about 13 hours.
Brief Answer:
nothing serious
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
There should not be any serious effect of such gases if there was only temporary exposure. Try to wash out your mouth with water and open windows in home for an hour,be on fresh air as much as you can. If there is progression of symptoms or black outs,then you should see doctor. Wish you good health Regards
