don't know anyone in person, but there are certain ways it can occur. One (the most popular) is from heavy smoking. Other ways it can occur is from nerve lesions in some of your cranial nerves. Bell Palsy and diseases of the middle ear can cause a lesion in your facial nerve causing a loss of certain taste senses (sweet and salty) and lesions in your glossopharyngeal nerve can cause the sour and bitter senses. just some fyi. take care.

somewhat. My mom had surgery and a few weeks after started noticing her taste for certian foods had changed. She didnt like the same things. She asked her doctor about it and he said sometimes anesthesia can cause a change in certain tastes. Worked good for her..shes now down 50lbs.

Yes. My friend almost lost his entire bottom jaw on the fourth of July. He can't taste any foods or any drinks anymore because of it.

You cannot permanently lose your taste because your taste receptors reproduce themselves eery week or two, so if you burn your tongue or something, it will hardly matter.
