Shampoo, coffee, bacon, baby clothes and most good smells are back (though some are off, they're mostly there).

Can't smell stanky stuff though, which is kind of nice. Can't smell gas or some things like peanut butter unless I'm right up on them.

After the freeze in Houston, the water smelled like fish (it was on the news, so not just me), but now I smell fishy water all the time when my daughters say it's fine.

Haven't smelled anyone's shite in almost 5 months, including my own.
Can taste acidic foods (citrus, tomatoes, ect), but not fatty foods (meat, gravy, butter).
I can get a better "glimpse" of a taste if I salt the hell out of my food, but I ain't doing that.
BTW, loss of smell and taste was my only symptom, never got tested.

The oldest is 10, you degenerate.


Sad thing is I actually knew when I wrote the word I would risk that response.

Maybe I spend too much time on here...

I’ve heard from multiple long haulers that taking the vaccine resolved some of their symptoms. Have you had it?

Yeh... it’s like most things that are roasted have an odd smell. Almost sulphur like I guess, maybe even bitter. Coffee is the most disappointing. Just started smelling my own farts again.
Again... very sulphur like.
Totally. I can’t really describe it either.

My gf still has muted taste.
It’s quite a stretch to describe your gf’s taste as “muted”.

“Abysmal” would be more appropriate.

Same.

Other things:
Smoke. Either from a fire or from a cigar is “off”. It’s no longer “smoky” which sucks.

Tequila. Was way off. Now it’s better, thank God.
Wine. Was worse, getting better.
Beer. Still pretty off for most lighter beers.

And you can bet that almost anything that comes in a package smells really damn weird. But I shouldn’t be eating that stuff anyway, so I can’t be too mad about that.

This is the sole reason I got the vaccine.
Mess up my taste of food? And a chance it could be permanent? Eff all that.

Can anyone relate to this weird combo?


I lost my taste and smell last May, It came back, but I have the same issues as you. Coffee doesn't smell the same and gas smells like what old gas would smell like. My shits and farts don't smell like shits and farts.


It's really frustrating.

Some things do smell normal, like bacon cooking and baked goods. Coke Zero taste like shite now, it has a much sweeter taste, but Dr Peppers taste normal. Fortunately beer and mixed drinks taste normal.

Shampoos and soaps all smell the same... Like a weird sweet smell...

Toothpaste, coffee, gasoline smell like burnt hair

Can’t smell poop, pussy, or farts

It’s been 5 months since I had it and it seems to be getting worse

I had COVID back in October and both my taste and smell are still fricked. The only plus is that I literally cannot smell shite or farts at all.
