It hit my family in October last year. I had no loss of taste or smell. My daughter lost both for one day and it returned just as quick as it left. My son lost his taste until January and in March started getting his smell back. My daughters fiance lost his taste and smell, the taste came back quickly, but smell still hasn’t returned.

6 months later I still have very minimal sense of smell. I need to practical inhale something with a strong oder to get a whiff.

Eat some Mexican food. You’ll recover in 24 hours.

I lost my sense of smell eight years ago. Have no idea what caused it. It comes back for a few seconds every once in a while, but, yeah...

Anyone else know someone who had this happen, but was able to correct it? I sure would like to smell my wife’s perfume again. ...and my smoker!

My mother was standing up on her wagon when she was a young child and a boy pulled the wagon out from under her. She went flying backwards out of the wagon and struck her head on the sidewalk and lost her sense of smell forever. He went on to work for the city. I worked with him for a summer when I was working my way through college. He said didn’t remember doing it. small town stuff.

That sucks! I bet if you could go back to their age, and stop it from happening, and maybe even punch his azz in the nose for GP, you’d do it, huh? I would!

I have several friends who lost smell and taste. I offered to give the others a post-pinto bean meal ‘Covid Test.’ No takers.

Thanks. I made a mistake when I said it escaped in October. That was when the Chinese actually noticed. It definitely is a bioweapon but I believe it was released prematurely.

Why infect your own people when they are the engine that makes the communist party leadership rich beyond belief? I think they were going to release it sometime in 2020 but closer to the election.

Lignin for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications – Could this become a reality?

The above relates to that orange peel thread. This next is one the role of inflamation.

No prob. Just thought that your thread was fascinating, and wanted to make sure you saw those links in case you’d find them of interest.

The reason I’m interested is that I know a few people who’ve lost their sense of smell. I’m really hoping that the eggheads can find something that works to restore it.

I’m also wondering if early treatment with a therapeutic, which none of the people I know with anosmia got, would less the risk of developing it, or lessen its severity if you do.

they should give the burnt orange thing a try. it probably doesnt help all but it might help some.

cant hurt to try. I dont let the medical profession sway me anymore with their “no” or “ no evidence” or “cant possibly be”

She told me that Chinese wouldnt think twice about killing their own people in their pursuit of world domination. She used the word “han.

FWIW, folks should still talk to their docs first, I think. Hopefully there are still some who honor the spirit of the Hypocratic Oath.

I was wondering about orange peel pickles.

Candied peel might be a bad idea, not only for diabetics, but because sugar promotes inflamation.
