Ed,

I had that "swollen taste bud" problem as recently as this past week and some related soreness. Sometime they seem to come from some sort of temporary food irritation, but I can't always figure out the source. They're gone now, thank goodness. I still get hypersensitive about things like that, but the two-week rule is a good guide.
