Hot Particles From Japan to Seattle Virtually Undetectable when Inhaled or Swallowed, Fairewinds, June 12, 2011:
[...] Fairewinds’ Arnie Gundersen explains how hot particles may react in mammals while escaping traditional detection. Reports of a metallic taste in the mouth, such as those now being reported in Japan and on the west coast, are a telltale sign of radiation exposure.
At 4:35 in
- There have been reports from Japan of individuals tasting a metallic taste
- It’s been detected after nuclear accidents and radiation therapy

In Hawaii I (and many friends) have noticed a metallic taste in our mouth. The strongest occurred for approximately three weeks around the third week of March thru April. It stopped for about five days and then started again for about a week. While this was occurring our throats were very sore, like a cold was coming on but it never happened (What was strange was it was sore to the touch on the outside of the throat too; to the sides of the trachea or approx. where the thyroid gland would be.
Call it what you will, because there’s a need to name and define things properly, but it was not “normal” and I never experienced it before. And I didn’t feel well. There were also other “odd” sensations that I recall, like one day at the beach, on the way to surf, when I felt like I was walking thru waves of heat that made me want to fall to the ground. It wasn’t a particularly hot day. It was confirmed when some random surfer in the water, out of the blue, mentioned he’d experienced it. Frankly, I was hoping it was just something I ate
There could be some other explanation. These are simply experiential and unique occurrences.
It did inspire me to buy an Austin Healthmate+ to clean the air while I was at home. And be realistic about the need to have a supplement regime and cleanse — and of course, no “Hot Hilo Milk!”. And I now watch the StormSurf link to see when the jet stream is pulling toward Hawaii. http://stormsurfing.com/cgi/display_alt.cgi?a=npac_250 And I taper the outdoor activities accordingly.
Though the jet stream typically moves ne>w Sometimes the lower portion of the jet stream pulls towards Hawaii. And it rains here…almost daily. During the summer there’s a weird circular air current that comes from the north, then swirls around the Hawaii island, and as it comes back around it brings the air from the south to the northern islands, and presently our exposure may coincide with when we see more vog in the air (Tho this wasn’t the case during much of that metallic taste period, so it’s not something we can blame on the vog). Vog is a whole other issue of serious health concerns for residents here, tho the cleansing “regime”, combined with lung supporting herbs, seems to help with both. Again, not a meteorologist or epidemiologist or expert on complicated tropical weather patterns here…just a semi-conscious observer.
BTW, the thunderstorm in Hawaii, previously an anomali, has occurred regularly since late February. Who know what that is all about, but where we may typically see avg. 2-3 lightening storms a year, we have probably had 30 days/nights of them this year already – mainly from March thru June. That’s more than most young Hawaii residents had ever previously experienced in their lifetime.

Awesome, I was looking for a jet stream website that included Hawaii, Mahalo.
Regarding the metallic taste in the mouth, I have experienced it as well, but didn’t really think about it too much or connect it to potential radiation until now. Been fasting periodically, cleaning out, taking extra antioxidants and daily taking a mixture of apple pectin, baking soda and bentonite clay. Only so much a person can do as I plan on eating, drinking and breathing.
The weather has been really weird, in addition to the lightning, we’ve been getting a lot more rain than normal and we live on the leeward side. Winter and the rains are usually pau by February here, but even last night got a brief shower, so something’s up. Take care, Al

Sorry Arnie but you can not taste radiation. You are a very knowledgeable engineer, but you are not a health physics expert. With 15 years experience inside plants I know that many times you do sense a metallic taste in the air when there are repairs going on because the plant is basically made of metal. But enter the same area of the plant when no repairs are underway and there is no smell, but the same dose rate.
When Chernobyl exploded large amounts of radioactive metal became airborne in tiny particles along with non radioactive particles. And TMI had major metal components being destroyed inside the core and gases from there were released.Radioactive particles are just regular elements like cobalt or cesium that are ionized, that are in an excited unstable state, and have exactly the same smell as regular elements.
Report Comment
They are metals…Cobalt is a metal along with many of the other radio isotopes associated with uranium.
Report Comment
I don’t think Arnie is saying that you can taste radiation.There are numerous reasons for metallic taste in the mouth.High heavy metal levels are one.People undergoing radiation therapy get metallic taste in their mouth as a side effect.So it makes sense that if people are being overly exposed to radiation,they may have a metallic taste in their mouth.
Report Comment
Arnie suggested that the “hot particles,” some of which are metallic, are present in enough quantity to give a metallic taste. While other fission products are not metallic, they are elemental, and many non-metallic elements cause a similar taste.
He suggested that individuals tasted metal–not radiation.

fairewinds is not making this up, in fact a metallic taste in the mouth is from many account a very common symptom for those that have experienced reactor meltdowns.

What’s the explaination…well the speculation can go on and on….just because an event has not been proven on paper doesn’t mean it doesn’t have merit. I believe in the not too distant future the mystery of the metalic taste will be reveal. Perhaps you will be one of the study cases…you can say, “I have a metalic taste in my mounth but I know it’ isn’t from radiation, cause it’s been proven radiation has no taste…I’ve also heard radiation in small doses of course, is good for you!”

The radioactive substance that was injected was likely barium, a metal, and that would explain the metallic taste.

Now, whether people in the Western US are right now experiencing a “metallic taste” is not the point. The point is that we quite correctly lambast the MSM for printing slanted news stories, and so we should strive to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

I must say the headlines on Enenews do always tend to be spun to make any news items look as alarmist as possible. In this case words are added that were not said. Yesterday we had the discovery of radioactive mushrooms that had nothing to do with either Fukushima or Chernobyl.
The situation at Daiichi is obviously very grave indeed and out of control. We are not getting the true facts out of Tepco and there is a definite time delay when they do release information.
However I came to this site hoping for FACTS and informed opinions. I am worried about the long term effects and am interested in informed opinions by people who know what they are talking about and no offense, but the majority of posters on enenews obviously do not have a clue. It’s mostly wild speculation, the more catastrophic the better.
We are going to have to face up to whatever the consequences are in the long term. Stockpiling food and living holed up in a basement are not long term solutions. They are panic solutions….something you do for a short term crisis, but not one that will persist for generations.
Expert opinion is seriously lacking in mainstream media.It seems only good old Arnie is willing to explain things a bit. if you want to stay credible then please stick to the FACTS and refrain from adding spin.
This site reminds me a little of a pseudo scientific news forum called Flu Trackers which encouraged people to freak out unduly about Swine flu outbreak.
The flu epidemic, as we all now know, turned out to be a lot less deadly than either they or the WHO made out.
And Big Pharma were profiting hugely from all the unnecessary panic.
Tamiflu has no proven effect on either swine flu or bird flu but the scare was a great way of getting rid of all the expired stocks of this very expensive drug.
Also many millions of $$ were spent by gov’ts on stock piling vaccinations that weren’t needed… including 3rd world countries who couldn’t afford it and got into further debt as a result.
BTW Admin…you still haven’t introduced yourself or put up an “about” section.
So who are you?
The credibility of Enenews really needs to be improved if you want people to sit up and take notice of the nuclear threat. It’s so easy to dismiss “conspiracy theory” sites and I personally think that nuclear energy should be phased out as soon as possible. The spurious “wars on terror” should be stopped immediately. They do absolutely nothing to stop terrorist attacks and using depleted uranium weapons is just a convenient way of dumping OUR nuclear waste on other nations.
If you need a break from watching the tepco webcam then I strongly recommend watching this video about the aftermath of recent wars we have waged. It’s quite a long documentary but well worth watching and I bet it doesn’t get shown on prime time TV in your country.

@nomade – agree no need to be alarmist, but stockpiling food is not a bad idea esp if you have kids. My baby developed rashes after eating local fruits. What might be marginally tolerable to adults could be extremely deadly to babies given the low body weight. I went out and bought tons of pre 311 seaweed, canned fruits, juice, and grains for my baby; went through the trouble of contacting the food manufacturers and checking dates when food was processed. Did the same for fish oil and supplements. I also suggested on ENE that expecting parents buy pre 311 jars baby food. Sure, the pre311 food will expire at some time, but at least it will give the babies a few years to cope with the onslaught of radioactive particles since our food sources are now compromised. Sadly, the cesium, strontium, etc will remain in our food for long time, just like those long-dated particles are still found in East European mushrooms.

I mentioned the metallic taste on here 2 months ago and got ridiculed for it. My water is not only metallic smell but feels different as well . My daughter noticed as well. I have been waiting for my filtration from a service here and Its been over 2 months as I assume the guy is handling higher paying customers. What I read somewhere that helped leach the taste and probably the elements out of my mouth was baking soda and salt for brushing teeth. weleda of germany makes that in a pleasant paste. I also am pretty sure that we have colloidal forms of many radioactive metals in this scenario i.e. radioactive lead, cobalt,strontium, look at the list of possibilities…..

I haven’t heard of any other filter that is designed specifically for radioactive particles besides the TRAP radiation filter, but I heard that U of NC has developed a method now using crustacean shells. Not sure when they may be available to consumers. If I had a metallic taste in my mouth, I’d get a TRAP. Actually, I do have a metallic taste but I think that’s because I went to the dentist today.

I have a son in Bellingham, WA on the coast. I am going to send him money to at least get some kelp tablets or spirulina. I just bought spirulina today.

Just make sure the kelp is “pre-fuku-harvest”

@Rica – Do you have EBMUD if you live near Richmond? While you are waiting for a filter, you might consider getting RO water in bulk at Whole Foods. SF’s Rainbow Grocery used to carry RO in bulk took, but no longer.

Alo^HAAAAAAA~~~~~ Hi all locals and please pay attention, abroad! yes, there is various levels of radiation, confirmed, by accurate USAF and USN testing. there are a multitude of others, privately testing, with there own gear, that substantiates, already completed mil testing. most of the levels are LOW, but sometimes moderate, across various elevations on the islands. radiation particular to MARCH 22-25TH, was very evident, and the mil had planes up, spraying a unknown chemtrails. perhaps it was for testing the levels of certain kinds of GAS, and other isotopes. i am NOT_ A EXPERT, or a “insider”. but we like Alaska mil and civilians, understand that radiation is on the rise especially in Alaska. Hawaii has it much more dispersed, in lower levels, sometimes wrapping back in the high pressure systems, through the trades. i have personally seen, many different, fascinating cloud shapes, as if the “clouds were alive”, painting themselves! it is quite obvious to see that many new cluds are electrically charged, and moving by , as the entire Pacific basin fills up with ZENON 133, and other radiation pollution. the plants are showing signs of stress, drying out much quicker, and the greens are burning, more than just the “normal chemtrails” we had prior to Fuku. i notice i must water my plants more often, or they wilt and dry up, even in high humidity! yes, there is CESIUM’S AND other radiation, bio accumulating. here i ask, consider copy and pasting, networking this to as many as you can twitter or facebook, please. everyone deserves a chance to help there own health habits, in a challenging time such as this. normally we would expect, with all our taxes paid, that Gov would want to HELP us, with the integrity of the right information, warning the general public, but no. we have a cruel, eugenics administrated system, that is going stealth, even resorting to criminal acts, to suppress and cover up the real data. what can you do for your family, Ohana? go here: http://nutrimedical.com . buy the “NUTRIODINE”. it will do wonders for your health, and the bio accumulatin IODINE 131, which is adding up, slowly, in the islands eco and biological systems. stay away* from shellfish! yes, i have tasted a heavy metal tinge and heavier metallic taste, on 2 or 3 occasions, especially since March 23rd. i had metal taste here on Kauai’, only 2 weeks ago, and my energy level droppped flat for @ 12 hrs. it’s obvious. but of course, out own state of Hawaii, is being very quiet about this, as all “some” fascists can think of, is there next big pharma investment, and there next paycheck from those kinds of investors…like more vaccines. obviously people, wake up please, radiation, “irratates and aggravates ALL pathogenic responses, bacterial and viral”. so all your so called “cold symptoms” and beyond that, strong urine, and bladder or kidney infections, are somewhat likely to be rooted from hot particles, that are spreading, mainly through boxes, pallets, and shipping containers, from Seattle WA, and other ports in the orient. Mah^Alo, for your time. MALAMA PONO, NOW GO HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR! SENT WITH LOVE ~~~~~~
