I’ve had durian the other day, a fruit which has such a strong smell that it’s even specifically banned from public transport in Singapore, however I didn’t smell (or from that, taste) a thing. There is still some light smell with a few things but it’s mostly been unchanged since
Why? My sense of smell is still a mess 4 months after a very mild infection. I’ve regained some ability to smell a tiny little bit shortly after the infection was over but a lot of things I simply don’t smell at all
I’ve already been careful before I actually got infected with the Coronavirus, however having had it made me even more careful. Just knowing that it can have these long term effects that we don’t know much about, even with a super mild infection, is scary
However very recently I started noticing a very disturbing smell with animal products, but mostly dairy products, which makes it hard for me to eat or smell a lot of these now, hence I am considering skipping on most animal products for a while
One of my flatmates was also infected at the same time, but with more severe symptoms than I had. He is fine now but even for him his sense of smell is not completely back yet
While not being able to smell properly or smelling things weirdly is frustrating, I am glad that I didn’t have any severe symptoms and also didn’t have to go to the hospital, but I didn’t expect the lasting impact it would have
Sorry for this long thread, but I felt like sharing this since there seem to be still way too many people who don’t care about getting the Coronavirus, mostly because they are young and healthy
@_Hawkon Thanks, I haven’t really tried too many things yet but it seems like it’s mostly beef / dairy products so far so maybe it’s something specifically from cows
