AW: [ RadSafe ] TMI - reported "metallic taste"

[John Jacobus]

When I was going to graduate school, I live for about
a year in Tyrone, PA, which also had a paper mill.  I
do remember having a metallic taste, but was always
inpressed with the fact the houses near the plant had
the paint coming off of the exterior walls.
