I noticed today that my caffeine tolerance seems to be really low while recovering from a tonsillectomy, is this plausible? What about other surgeries?

I remember hearing a while back about mouth tissues absorbing chemicals very readily.

    I suspect that the anesthesia may have influenced your caffeine tolerance.

    I tried to find a paper to support that idea but a lot of it is behind paywalls. So explore that possibility if you are interested.

    I don’t think it’s the open wounds allowing more caffeine in.
