Lexical-gustatory synesthesia is apparently the rarest. Certain words or sounds evoke different tastes.
WebMD says nothing to worry about, health-wise.
I don't have a true form of lexical-gustatory synesthesia. I don't have color synesthesia either. My brain is only triggered to smells associated with the actual item traditionally associated with the smell.
My brain does not generate smells to random words. If I read the word couch or hear it spoken, I am not likely to smell anything. If I read the word fish, or hear the word fish, I am likely to smell fish.
My condition is due partially to strong perception and due to an issue with my pituitary gland.\
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
