My partner from work tested + the other day. He had covid last year as well.
I have resigned myself to the fact that it's inevitable I will get it sooner or later. If my sense of taste and smell go away, hopefully that also means a reduced appetite so I'll make the most of it and go on a diet for however long it lasts. Good time to brew up a bunch of styles that benefit from aging I guess. Without the benefit of those senses however, I'll stick to tried-and-true recipes
Side note, neither my employer nor my wife's are still taking precautions seriously which is why I feel like it's just a matter of time.
Yeah, I had the original strain at the beginning of '21 and it screwed up my smell long term. Dark beers have a dirty/mildew smell to them to this day, and Reese's used to be my favorite candy and now I find them slightly gross tasting. They taste like they've spoiled to me.Interesting reads here. Had the og strain back in Dec 2020 and had a fever for a day but everyone around me was sick as can be. The only effect on me was anosmia. It was very strong too. Could not smell a thing. Milk is bad? Could not tell. Something rotted? Never knew.
Smell started returning 11 months later but then at the beginning of this year, something else in the olfactory bulb came back on and is distort. All food and grain have a very strong chemical insecticide odor.
Started on zinc, alpha lipoic acid, and benfotiamine to help try and rebuild those nerves correctly and pray that one day the Lord sees it in His will to rewire them for me.
I used to take that sense for granted but when it gets distorted, things certainly change.
