I had a weird one. Got covid and my taste for alcohol got ...corrupted. For the first 200ms of a sip of wine or beer it tasted normally, and then a wave of extremely bitter aftertaste would come and drown all the other tastes. It lasted a few weeks and then it fixed itself in the course of one day. It did coincide with me taking a few zinc pills as someone told me taste anomalies are sometimes caused by zinc deficiencies.
- antisthenes 5y agoI think you were just drinking an IPA.
- jbd28 5y agoIntranasal zinc has absolutely shown to have a direct correlation on loss of smell: https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=7853178&page=1 https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=78...
- rwoerz 5y agoI had a complete loss of my sense of smell, which I first noticed when I put my nose into a bottle of softener and smelled nothing. The first scents like parfume came back after two weeks. Real stench was away for months and came back with parosmia. Sounds not too bad if you can't smell stench but on the other side: making new friends with dogshit under your sole is not easy.
- CSDude 5y agoI heard similar from people. I did not get corruption but my sense od smell came back after 4-5 months. In some ways, I miss it, depraved of one of the earthly pleasures :P
