Question

when we are suffering from fever then why we can't feel the taste of any of the food item??

Answer 1

Hello Friend...

Here's Your Answer..

During fever, the temperature of our body increases from the normal body temperature of 98.6 degree F to a higher temperature, sometimes to 105 degree F. At this temperature, the function of the enzymes in our taste buds stops since they can work efficiently only in the temperature range of 77 to 98.6 degree F. The cells in the taste buds cannot send messages to the nerve centre in the brain.

Answer 2

When the taste buds in our mouth go numb when we get suffering from fever. The smell receptors in our nose are affected too. Hence,we cannot make out taste and flavours of food
