Detailed explanation-1: -Our behavioral results showed that compared with the normal sighted, blind subjects have increased thresholds for taste detection and taste identification. This finding is at odds with the superior performance of congenitally blind subjects in several tactile, auditory and olfactory tasks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Among the causes of taste problems are: Upper respiratory and middle ear infections. Radiation therapy for cancers of the head and neck. Exposure to certain chemicals, such as insecticides and some medications, including some common antibiotics and antihistamines.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nontasters, or people who experience taste blindness, have fewer tastebuds on their tongues than other people do, so their sense of taste is not quite as strong.
