Slice of Chaotic Life

The smell of tooth bacteria, dental plaque, caries, that kind of stuff. Don’t know how it smells? Rub one of your teeth with your finger before you brush in the morning and sniff it. Icky! How do I know? Well, for one thing, I have been shoving the loose tooth back in place when it tried to fall out for two days now. Also, this smell now fills my nose, especially when I swallow, all day since sometime at work. Probably related to the previous problem, but somewhat disturbing in itself.

Probably related to these: A light headache (I would guess the bacteria have crept up in the lower right sinus again) and a feeling of lump or swelling near the top of the throat, also on the right side, probably also courtesy of our bacterial visitors. Luckily it does not seem to impact breathing at all, neither through the nose nor mouth. But quite distracting anyway, especially with my history when it comes to breathing.

On the bright side, it got better after slowly consuming a cup of tea with honey. Mm, honey. Presumably good for your health, recommended by Solomon. Our natural source of fructose. Don’t eat too much of it, says Solomon. I think it was Solomon, it is definitely from one of his books in the Bible. Jonathan, King David’s BFF, also discovered the benefits of honey during protracted battle. Unfortunately he had to die, but for most of us honey is likely to prolong the life.  Besides, it is tasty and filling. And it smells better than teeth.
