>I have and it is a disgusting, nauseating smell. Very metallic and somewhat sweet.

I guess, as you've seen action.

>Have you ever had water with too much iron in it? Common in this area. I can't stand it.

No, ours has too much chalk in it (living on the chalk Downs of the south coast)

>>Aye, maybe. But couldn't it also be interpreted as the taste of iron? I used to suck my angle-iron bunk-bed frame when I was a kid. I remember the bitter taste (which Guinness reminds me of). Also, when I put my car aerial (antenna) down, then should taste my finger-tips, I don't like the metalic taste of that either. Maybe like the taste of blood. I've never encountered enough blood to get a smell off it though.
