What Causes Phantom Bleach-like Odor From Food?

I can smell and taste bleach in chicken both before and after cooking, the other members of my family cannot. I recently opened a can of salmon and the first thing that I smelt was bleach and I could taste it in that too. I also tasted the same in a fresh river caught barramundi. Is there something wrong with me

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Changes in smell and taste you are facing recently should be further investigated before telling what's wrong with you.

Yes, there is something going on, but you need an ENT consultation first.

All the best.
