Dear user, the numbness is due to the alcohol content in the sanitizer and it has temporarily affected your taste buds. You will regain sense of taste in due. However it is better to keep such hazardous substances safe from consumption so be careful the next time. You can consult me for more doubts regarding this online by clicking on my photo and booking an appointment however, if you found my answer helpful, please leave a positive feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.
