When I couldn’t smell fish sauce…. I didn’t think to try really hot food. I think it would have still burned.
Had not heard the part about taking Pepcid. What does that do?
When the wife and I had it we tried a lot of food to see what we could taste. Weird results - bland thing like refried beans I could taste fine. Tortillas - nope. Wasabi - nope. I figured the wasabi would still take my breath away, but it was as if I put water in my mouth. Really crazy. We tried some pie - I could taste sweet, but couldn't tell you what kind of pie it was.
I live to eat, I don’t eat to live. When it doesn’t taste good, I don’t eat despite how hungry I am.. So I dropped a lot of weight with COVID
That's what we both said, but the loss of taste only lasted about a week for me. She's pretty much got her taste and smell back, but not 100%. (and this was in July when we got sick!)
Mine was the same way. I could taste sweet and spicy flavors but nothing else. It was really weird biting into a rib or steak and not tasting anything other than a subtle amount of spices.
Scented candles and hand soap were weird too. I would see them burning or washing my hands but absolutely no hint of any aroma coming from them. It did encourage me to double check batteries in all the smoke detectors though once I realized I couldnt smell smoke if something started to burn.
I never lost taste but did smell. I still do not have 100% smell back after 10 months.
Not a bad thing if you want to bea plumber or in a medical fieled doing patient care.
I found loss of taste/smell to be horrible, given I was someone who had a very good sense of smell.
