"Latex-food allergy syndrome." Have you ate any foods such as bannanas, chestnuts, avocado, or kiwi fruit. These are the Most common ones. Alot of foods actually break down in your system and can cause latex allergy symptoms. I'm not sure if you would be able to taste this or not. I'm not a doctor but my 6yr has spina bifida (mylomenglocyleShes L-4-L-5.) and we keep her away from certain foods . Gl to you.

What makes you think that a doctor can answer your questions?
If doctors had the answer to questions like this and much of the problems that ail people today then there would not be these problems anymore right? There are plenty of reasons why you have been tasting latex for the past 3 to 4 days. Have you been thinking about it lately. Any balloons around your house? How old is your toothbrush? DO YOU HOMEWORK! Good luck friend.

tasting it?
Have you been near any latex products or maybe it's just a psychosymmetic (sp?) reaction?
I would definitely go ask your doctor why would you be experiencing this weird taste.
