The symptoms normally disappear after several days and there are no adverse health effects.

The cause of pine mouth has not been determined, but several researchers have indicated that a particular species and source of pine nut, Pinus armandii exported from the Shaanxi and Shanxi regions of China, may be responsible for causing the symptoms. This species of pine nut was previously only consumed locally and not widely exported for consumption as whole nuts.

Today I learned that you posted this story seven times already.

I cross-posted it 4 times, within minutes of each other, each on a different instance. Is there something wrong with that?

Yes, most people on Lemmy seems to just browse all, if you do that your posts often looks like reposts and you have to verify the community to see if it was a repost or not.

So, try to at least spread it out over a day or two

Ah, okay, on mine it de-duplicates crossposts in the feed. Thanks for the info!
