![]() ![]() How horrible that must be? I am so fascinated as to know what other people, who have experienced the persistent loss of taste and smell – what particular smell and taste do they experience? I read an article the other day, where a lady stated since her COVID illness, everything she ate tasted and smelled like rotting flesh. Why Paprika – I wonder? I guess he should feel blessed it is something as benign as Paprika. Thankfully, he is back to his old self – but he has never regained his sense of taste or smell, and in fact, all the foods he eats – smell and taste like Paprika. Luckily, he was never admitted to the hospital, but it seemed to be touch and go there for a while. He was really sick for days, and it takes a lot to knock this guy down at 6’5″ and 270 pounds.

And did we have an Alpha, Beta, Gamma variant – or did we all just forget about those? We know about antigens, antibodies, and monoclonal antibodies now. Perhaps they thought the general public wouldn’t notice. We are slowly learning the Greek alphabet based on the new variants which continue to appear – although they seemed to have skipped over Episolon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lamda, Mu, and Nu. It seems all we have talked about for the last 2 years is COVID, it’s variants, signs and symptoms, death rates, daily new cases and so on and so forth. 13 Is Post – COVID Continued Lack of Taste and Smell Depressing You?. ![]()
