@@jacquesc0usteau that’s not guaranteed. Some people from Covid have lost their senses of taste and smell entirely. Some rare and unlucky few have also had a side effect called Parosmia which develops after they regain their senses. It basically makes everything that is fragrant as food taste and smell like burnt sewage juice and faeces. It has actually ruined these people’s lives. They can barely eat because to eat anything is like trying to gag down a bunch of things you found at the bottom of the toilet in every conceivable way. It’s horrific for them. It’s one of the most horrific side effects of Covid for some people. They’ll never enjoy food or eating again. They’ll only ever taste and smell sewage and poo again.

@@jacquesc0usteau But for some people (myself) it can last months and then your taste can also be permanently changed. I was tasteless and scentless for 3 months and for three more months all my food tasted rancid, particularly meats. Up until a certain point, my taste was altered in an indescribable way and just recently started returning.

I work in the fragrance industry, so needless to say, I almost had a nervous breakdown when my sense of smell got jacked up because of covid. It was not something that came back “overnight”. So many times I thought I would never smell things the same again. It was very slow and gradual. Actually almost a year after I got covid, I was still smelling SOME things differently. So, it can be very slow in returning and you might notice that even after many months, certain things might still smell alien. Thankfully, two years later, I can confidently say that my sense of smell is 100% back to normal, and I have an even higher appreciation for this gift.

Hey Emmy, my sister had Covid. I did find some techniques to bring back smell. Eventually your body will recover, everyone’s different, but I found an simple method that did help my sister. It does help to continue to smell things even if you can’t, your brain is elastic and can form new neuro pathways to help restore scent. So maybe several times a day, have an assortment of scents to smell, and repeat this process. Slowly you’ll begin to start smelling and then taste will follow. Ultimately my sister had to just let her body recover from loss of taste and smell, but trying out a regular method of smelling familiar things did start to work, even if just a little bit.

It’s unfortunately a very different situation. The loss of taste and smell with covid is neurological (the nerves start working incorrectly) not physical like with a cold (getting stuffed up and blocking smells). You would be able to feel the sensation of spice though, just not the smell/flavor.

Orange was the first thing my other half and I were able to smell and taste after we got covid. Maybe it's more to do with oranges in general? Maybe the oils and heating it enhances it?

That’s how long it took mine to come back! Fourteen days. 😭 it was definitely miserable. I didn’t even WANT to eat because everything was blah. The first flavor I was able to taste was cherry! I had cherry cough drops. Do you remember the first flavor or food you tasted again after Covid?

Nurses at my local hospital told people to keep tasting hot sauce. The idea is that if your force your taste buds to react to strong flavors that the recovery time is shortened.

It's not your taste buds. Your taste buds can taste sweet, salty, bitter, and umami. That's why those aren't affected by COVID. The rest of tasting is actually done by your nose. They say if you plug your nose, you can't tell the difference between a raw potato, raw apple, and raw onion. Those flavors come through your nose.

Ooo I’m just so happy for your return of both taste and smell💕💕💕

I'm going through COVID right now, and a few days in, started loosing some of my taste and smell. I've totally lost sweet, and have reduced umami and sour, salty and bitter are still present. Glad you're doing better!!

I couldn't even smell skunks after being sick for almost a year but I never lost my sense of taste as much. Hope you get yours back soon!

The tea tree oil at very least definitely cleared out your sinuses, not smelling it is a blessing in disguise. Hopefully it gets better soon.

I've had covid four times now. Not vaccinated. Lost my smell and taste the first time two and half weeks all returned. This last infection I only lost smell returned after five days. Usually it returns after a short time. As we get vaxed or natural exposure it seems to get milder each time. At least that's my experience. Just saw your update. Glade your getting it back. Stay healthy.

I haven't tuned into Emmy in a long time but I was still sorry to see this news. Glad that you are ok otherwise & I'm sure your taste will come back soon. My Mom slowly regained her smell & taste over the course of a couple of months.

Fortunately I have evaded Covid and have not had it, but my mother got it 2 years ago and still cannot taste or smell AT ALL 😟 I feel so incredibly sad for her and couldn't begin to imagine what people go through that have long lasting effects far after having it.

I used ivermectin. Even the horses version. It cleans also long term covid symptoms. It saved my life

I got covid in January 2021 and I’m still not back to normal! I’m much better than before though (not every hot/warm meal reeks) but can’t taste and properly smell a LOT of foods even now.

I've seen this online and wondered if it would work. I'm so glad your senses are returning! I lost my sense of taste from covid 1 year ago. I can smell just fine I just can't taste! I thought they were connected so I thought it was strange to only lose one! It sort of helps if I smell the food as I'm eating it but only a little.

I had covid not long ago, and all I could taste was sweet and salty though I could pick up a few strong fragrances, but thankfully mine returned, glad yours is coming back too!

Emmy. I just thank you so much for saying what you said about Covid. I actually lost my brother due to complications of Covid back in 2020. I think there's such a tendency for folks to think it's over. It's really not. I'm in my forties and I just lost a friend YESTERDAY from Covid complications. My husband and I still lose our sense of taste and smell from time to time. My heart is with you and I'm so glad to see your update comment. Nothing but the best wishes for you and your family ❤️

Thank you, and I'm so sorry for your loss. 🧡

I am intensely curious to know what this smells and tastes like when you can actually smell and taste things again. :x

Will totally watch and support anything you make if you need to take a break from tasting and cooking because of anosmia. Need to see the bees again!

back in 2021, I lost my smell for a week but my taste was gone for 3 months! but I’ve seen your update, happy your senses are getting better!!
