Very interesting video, non-political, about people who have lost their sense of taste and smell because of covid..

I was watching this video while enjoying a six pack of Modelo that I bought on sale, and suddenly realized it tastes like carbornated water, and I went to the coffee bag to make sure, I had not lost my sense of smell.

I had this about 2-3 months after I had Batflu. Lasted about 2 weeks. Smelled phantom sewage.

A good friend of mine has this. She had CoVid last December. She lost her taste and smell senses, but when she got them back, they were mixed up. I haven’t seen her in about a month or so, so I’m wondering if it is coming along yet. I will see her in 2 weeks.

I lost my sense of smell when i had covid in February. And I still haven’t gotten it back much. It has to be very strong now for me to get a slight sence. Will try smelling my coffee in the morning.

I’ve heard you can’t smell anything.

I know a guy who got hit in the head and all processed food smells like chemicals.

Not that bizarre. Other respiratory viruses can do it. We just don't hear about it much.

Coffee smells like sewage and chicken smells like rotting garbage.

Then I realized I need to stop eating at Dave and Buster's.

My wife, who had a "flu" the end of December 2019, had no energy for 3-4 weeks, and she also lost her sense of smell for a couple of weeks during which she had little to no appetite.

But since this occurred before COVID-19 "officially" arrived in the US, we have no idea what she had. /s

COVID-19 degrades a master antioxidant, called glutathione, in living human cells.

Which is why the FDA recently ordered N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) to be removed from vitamin store shelves, because it dramatically restores glutathione levels.

You can still find it in some online stores or local health food stores, but it is going to be made 'prescription only' and you know what the Biden regime does to helpful prescriptions....

Video may or may not be good (haven’t seen it), but that’s definitely a clickbait title. Loss of smell/taste for a potentially significant amount of time is one of the major things discussed about COVID.

No one’s talking about it because it’s rare.

I’m not saying it’s not real. The loss of smell is an interesting symptom of Covid and this would seem related.

I’m six months post-covid and my sense of smell hasn’t fully returned. At first, I couldn’t smell anything at all for several weeks. When my sense of smeel started to come I wanted to puke on some of the scent of certain “normal” things.

The things that smell normal, I can’t smell as well or I should say it isn’t as strong.

Here are some things that still don’t smell right, which affects the taste of the edible items.

Coffee grounds, garlic, peanut butter, grilled foods, flowers and soap.

I’m really starting to wonder if I’ll even fully recover.

Over the years, I’ve had several episodes of this, lasting for a few days to a few months. I couldn’t get over the fact that one of life’s most pleasant aromas - that of freshly-ground coffee - smelled absolutely awful during these periods. And most other things had no smell at all.

I have not had Covid, and have wondered if it would trigger a similar, or worse, occurrence. Hoping not to find out…
