Is this loss of sense of smell permanent? That sounds very scary.

Is this loss of sense of smell permanent? That sounds very scary.
- wollstonecraft 7y agoOlfactory neurons are somewhat notable for their ability to regenerate.
- gnulinux 7y agoDoes the virus damage olfactory neurons, or does it cause loss of smell via different mechanism? For what it's worth, my grandma lost her sense of smell permanently in her 30s after a car crash. Unfortunately, now she can't tell if the food is burning.
