Join Absolute EHS as we learn about Lisa’s experiences with COVID-19.
To elaborate on her current smell and taste depletion, here is what she was able to share off of the recording:
- Cannot taste or smell coffee – can feel the temperature
- Cannot smell peppermint oil – can feel the cooling effects and nasal passages opening
- Potato chips – can only taste the salt
- Water tastes muddy and ‘mucky’
- Can always smell vanilla
- Random phantom smells occur – she gets 1-2 whiffs and then it’s gone. Nobody else can smell it. The smell is always bad like a burning smell, cigarettes, or dog feces
