How can anaesthesia have such vast effects on taste/smell?? I only know that consciousness is being "removed" when using anaesthesia. And the most logical theory so far is that "Quantum coherence of Tryptophan Microtubules" is interrupted by any higher gas penetrating the crystal.

PS: Oh my god that sounds absolutely horrible! I had loss of taste and smell after Covid for 3 days, but it came back. I love perfumes and have a nice collection that I couldn't smell at all anymore. Also everything tasted and smelt like saltwater, even the trash. But 6 months, I already felt tortured by not being able to taste anything anymore.
