Is there a way I can find out what various body fluids taste like?
I'm in this anatomy 101 course. Nothing related to my major, just a class I took on a passing interest. And I just can't stop thinking about what all these things i'm reading about taste like, or what it would be like to bathe in them.
I'm specifically curious as to the properties of cerebrospinal fluid and lymph.
Can anyone direct me to resources concerning this? Has anyone ever collected and drank pure lymph before?

pure lymph tastes pretty sour imo

Welcome to your first schizophrenic episode OP, you're right about bang on first presentation age.

one of my professors claims that you can tell by the physical arrangement of molecules how something is likely to taste
I believe one of those chemistry videos by Nottingham on their periodic videos channel claims something similar
not good sources but maybe it'll help you find the general direction of the answer

Nope. You can make a rough guess based on similarity to other molecules but that's the best we can do.

Become a paramedic. Wait for someone with a head injury. You have to check their ears for CSF by touching it with your fingers. Just have a quick taste when no other healthcare workers see you tasting it. It's okay if the victim sees it, they'll just be assumed to be in shock.

Only if it wasn't a dare.
You could tell how it would feel to bath in them by testing the rheoligical properties, but i doubt that this has been ever done for those oddly specific body fluids
How come, instead of using catheders, we just stick needles into the ureter and collect it in a bag
