A subset of COVID survivors are suffering from an unexpected side effect known as parosmia, a condition that causes their sense of smell to go haywire. Coffee smells like sewage and chicken smells like rotting garbage. Yara set out to learn how COVID is doing this to people, and what life is like when you smell and taste all the wrong things with no end in sight.

My daughter had parosmia for a year after Covid. Coffee, onion cooking or leaks was just unbearable for her. She couldn't eat eggs anymore, avocado, houmous. All things she used to love. Life got really hard around meal times. And then almost as suddenly as parosmia appeared, it disappeared. And she's almost back to normal. So there is hope! I hope all of you suffering from this will recover.

Many years ago I participated in a smell study that identified me as a super taster. I could taste complicated recipes and identify everything, every spice, every individual ingredient! When I got Covid and lost my sense of taste and smell I was devastated! It’s slowly coming back but I’ve lost my superpower. I prided myself on my gourmet cooking abilities. Now even coffee tastes bland. And I can’t cook by taste anymore. It’s a painful new reality.

I am seriously considering getting rid of my cellphones! I literally just got through brushing my teeth and I was THINKING about how crazy it is that everything I smell has a weird smell and I was THINKING about looking for an ear, nose, and throat doctor to address this because I had COVID about a year ago and then recently in the summer. When I got to my bed I was going to KZfaq for a night time music channel to help me sleep and this was the first video that popped up. How is that, when I didn't utter a word to anyone about what I was THINKING?!?!!! I didn't even SEARCH the topic! I have experienced having a conversation with someone about a particular subject and then having that topic show up on advertisements or in my video feed...which is also creepy, but what are these phones REALLY programmed to do? This is crazy insane and I don't like it at all!!

I don’t know how old you are, but with the phones that had voice recognition in the beginning, we had to actually set up our phone to recognize our voices or how we talk, to help it understand us when using talk to txt or whatever. Now the phones just automatically know what we’re saying. How do you think that happened? Well I’m pretty sure that we are being listened to so they have a vast amount of ways of saying each word. Our phones are basically a way to see, and hear anyone they want. And people who have “smart” homes are stupid. ANYONE can hack into your home and watch and listen in on you. People with camera and sound baby monitors hooked to their phones have reported hearing voices talking to their babies when they aren’t in the room. My niece had this happen with her daughter. It’s a crazy world with the illusion of freedom. But that “freedom” is very quickly disappearing.

The only positive is you have natural immunity and don’t let the news or government and even the doctors tell you you don’t.

Thank you for making this video! My fiance and I have been dealing with it for almost a year, I got it first when I had a temporary crown put in and I had to take it out because the glue they used tasted like rotting garbage. He got it a few weeks later and it progressed really quick. One night we went through our fridge and threw almost everything away because we couldn't even deal with opening the door. We quickly figured out the only things that we could eat were turkey sandwiches, and some fruits. Eventually we got so angry with it that we just started eating everything again and kind of meditating on the flavors and forced our senses to fix themselves. The weirdest part for me was that the taste changed every 3 or 4 months, first it was burnt rotting garbage, then it was like a burnt smelly foot and BO smell, now it's burnt farts. There are still a few things that smell and taste like it but for the most part we're so much better.

About 20 years ago I had a misdiagnosed bout of meningitis I was sent home from a clinic near my home on two separate occasions with the flu and I because extremely ill, I actually flatlined twice and had several seaizures and was spent three months in hospital and when I finally got better I realized that I’d completely lost my sense of smell and was told I may never get it back. It took me a year of rehab to re-learn how to walk and many years of coming to terms with just how close I came to losing my life, it was about 5-6 years before I realized that my sense of smell was returning, it’s fully back now, but sometimes I wonder whether what I’m smelling is the right smell, I don’t know if that makes sense, but that is my reality.

If it's any reassurance, none of us ever knows if what we smell is "correct" or exactly the same as what "everyone else" smells. All we really know is whether it's functional, whether we would use the same words as someone else, and whether we react more or less strongly. You're just more aware of the potential discrepancy, but we're all really in the same boat.

For anyone like me dealing with parasmia, I’ve found it helpful to just grab a full meal protein shake mix and have that for my breakfast - it has all the nutrients you need to get going and stay healthy, reduces having to think about what you’re going to eat, and tastes good (most have a sweet/vanilla taste). Then for lunch I’ll make or buy a salad with lots of veggies and sometimes I’ll toss some sauteed, seasoned chicken on it. Then dinner is where I make decisions… that way you’re not having to constantly use all this brain power on your meals every day. Sometimes if I’m super busy I’ll even just do the protein shake for breakfast and lunch! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 just some tips to help, I know it gets so exhausting. ❤️

Before I figured out what it was, I threw away so many items I insisted were spoiled… milk, sour cream, ice cream, milk shakes, potato salad, ranch dressing, yogurt… the list goes on! I feel strangely relieved to learn this phenomenon is not only 100% real, but a confirmed lingering after-effect of covid survivors because I was beginning to think I was going crazy while most of my friends and family just give me that sideways look of disbelief or at the very least never understanding the severity of this very irritating symptom.

yes-this is relatable! And the opposite as well- I got my sense of taste back but a few things seem a bit abnormal and I keep smelling cigarettes in the evening which usually would trigger asthma but just now realized the cig smell must be an illusion! However it comes and goes. I don’t smell them all day...just usually at bedtime.

My husband and I both had covid in April. His put him in the hospital for nearly a week with bad COVID pneumonia. The very first day we knew we were sick, then got tested to make sure or not if we were positive. Our Parosmia began, with a vengeance. Even before fevers or dry cough. The chemical smell would even wake me up at night. For months we smelled only something we described as burning toxic chemicals. As if there had been a freight car in town derailed and burning chemicals into the atmosphere, as if we lived next door to the burning. It was 24/7 and we took Ivermectin immediately. I feel most of my smell is back, except for scented candles, perfumes etc. which is ok, I have a parrot and can’t have scented candles or the like around here anyway. I feel fortunate ours was not of the rotten garbage variety! Thank God for Ivermectin.

I'm a neuro, and this is common with many viruses & is neurological. It's likely that you'll heal in time. To facilitate this, try to reduce all sources of inflammation in the body to aid in healing, even reducing stress as much as possible. Supplement with fish oil (up to several grams per day, assuming you're healthy) which is neuro-protective. Consider adding baby aspirin (again, assuming it's fine with your doctor). Exercise 30 min per day/ 3 hours per week even if it's just walking. REFRAIN FROM DIETING and make sure you eat at least 50 grams of fat per day, ideally from sources like fatty fish/ salmon, olive oil, etc., as this is vital for healing neuro damage. Perhaps most importantly, maintain a positive attitude and practice your form of spirituality, because the mind-body-spirit connection has been shown to have very real impact on outcomes in neuroscience. So, yes, I'm advising you to meditate, pray, sing, do what you love

Firstly, THANK YOU for covering this topic. Honestly. I just cried whilst watching this because this is what I’ve been suffering with. When I started smelling this awful rotting/gas/chemical smell I looked into it, and, found a Facebook group called “covid-19 post smell and taste disorders” and even tho I felt sorry for everyone, it was also a sense of reassurance that I wasn’t going crazy, and other people understood me. Somebody shared this video in that group, and, to actually hear that scientists are taking this seriously and researching into it has made me feel like there is hope. It is super worrying that this may be my new reality for the rest of my life, and, if it is I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m not coping very well with this rancid odour everywhere all the time. Background: caught covid/flu in August 2021 was really poorly for 3 weeks taking it to September. I was bed bound, wasn’t eating, there was severe burning in my nose, lost my smell and taste and all flu symptoms. I then recovered and my smell/taste came back within a couple of weeks from recovery, mid September to the end of September everything was fine, eating and drinking like normal, still felt fatigue and brain fog but was on the mend and then from the start of October the burning in my nose became so severe again I rang the doctors worried I may have had a post covid sinus infection, they put me on a 7 day antibiotics course. I completed it but the burning sensation was still there. That’s when I knew something wasn’t right. That’s when I started to smell rotting meat. I made a chicken casserole and I was adamant the meat was spoiled but no one else could smell the same thing as me. Since then, everything has smelt and tasted the same. Eggs smell and taste like I’m eating pure gasoline. Perfumes smell like dead bodies. Meat, just smells rotten. Any food that’s being heated and cooked smells like gas. Any cleaning products smell vile. Honestly, I can’t explain how hard this is. I’m hoping so much that there is a cure. I heard that cancer patients when undergoing chemotherapy suffer with the same problem because their receptors become damaged, then I started wondering ok the virus obviously does this to our receptors and then I started thinking about the PCR tests - could they have done this? Would we ever be told if the PCR has done this? Please can anybody suggest anything which may help.

Coffee tastes like gasoline, bacon tastes like soap, eggs have almost no taste, butter tastes like it's gone bad, and all oils smell like they've gone rancid.

@@terripebsworth9623 You're a charlatan. Parasmia is a serious condition that is hard to treat, if you watch the video the receptors in the nose just don't care about your zinc as some of those techniques have been tried to little to no success. For instance, some people who had car accident or cancer suffer from parasmia, and last time I've checked car accidents don't create zinc deficiency. Stop that nonsense, the false hope and disinformation, people should only listen to their doctors not YT "experts". People are desperate and might endanger themselves with your nonsense. Zinc has not cured covid as crazies were claiming and it certainly doesn't cure Parasmia as it's been studied for decades. And I'm sure people have tried it all for decades. Knowing all the different covid related symptoms people suffer from around the world, there's certainly nothing "easy" about people suffering and there's no one-size-fits-all treatments as we're still learning about long-haul covid. I bet if someone tells you "Since I got covid I can't walk long distances", you'll tell them to take zinc...just stop.

I had covid at the end of July and lost complete sense of smell and taste for about 2 weeks. It was a horrible thing to experience. It started with a scent of fish every time I would go outside for about 2 days (only outdoor air), then I just completely lost both senses (my son said he smelled rotten garbage before losing his). It was only 2 weeks but I went through a few days of depression because I couldn't get myself to eat or want to cook for my family because everything tasted like cardboard. I thank God I'm able to taste and smell now- not 100% but I can ENJOY food again. Definitely do not take my sense of smell or taste for granted anymore! I really hope they find a solution for people suffering with this long-term.

It wasn't till I regained both senses and 3 months later I got parosmia. I can't stand anything I used to love like chocolate, peanut butter, most cheeses, breads, chips, bacon, and so much more just tastes rotted and gross. I went from being a picky eater to trying anything and everything that has a chance to be normal, but somehow I can somewhat taste freeze dried chocolate from what I can remember. A little while back when I had a physical done my doctor said something about the virus lingering, but not contagious anymore. I've had many breakdowns over these foul smells..

It’s amazing that this is not talked about more. I got Covid in August 2021. I lost taste and smell. It came back but I constantly smell smoke or sometimes an artificial alcohol smell. My taste is there somewhat but it’s definitely not as prominent as it once was. It seems like I can taste the processed taste in foods more so as well. Lettuce and deli meats especially are bad and I can taste the sodium in bottled water. Very strange. I still have a lingering cough but mostly when I lie down to sleep. I also have a very dry mouth and a thirst that will never be quenched. Glad I am not alone or imagining this stuff because people including my doctor looked at me like I am crazy!

It tastes like it did before but I don't like it now. It's like I went to sleep one day and woke up with someone else's taste preference.

I basically live on Broccoli & Cheese soup or the last yr, which I used to hate, cheese slices, sandwiches or I drink V8, which I do kinda like, but never had a feeling of "I just gotta have it", before V8, it was Welsh's Grape juice! My whole diet has changed to the strangest things, that I never really ate or drank! Also, my appetite for other stuff became unbelievable, like I couldn't get enough to eat! TG that finally stopped after this last time of having Covid! Yep, I'm sure I've had it twice, maybe 3x's & all have been different & I did get the 1st 2 vaccines! This last time was the worst, it effected my whole body, including my brain, couldn't think straight, couldn't walk right for wks & this time I was taking antibiotics, antivirals & antifungal meds! Now mo's later, it's caused problems with my mouth & tongue, turning like a bluish, purple color, all over my tongue & roof of my mouth! It might be a fungal infection, my GP seems to think I have covid mouth/tongue! I can smell most things, it just, nothing taste like it used to, or I have no desire to eat it, esp. the sweet stuff! Hope you get better! Worst part, was the homemade cherry cheesecake, had 1 sm. piece, didn't want anymore, gave some to a friend & rest went in the trash! I couldn't even tell her, didn't wna hurt her feelings or let her know, I threw it away! It just sucks, when it's really something you'd like to enjoy, but, can't!

Hi, I haven't personally recovered from it, but I'm a neuro and we tend to see a similar phenomenon with other viruses and even pandemics throughout history. This is basically a form of neurosensory damage. Like most neurological damage, it can heal over time. The rate and extent of healing varies greatly and depends on factors such as your general health, inflammatory markers, etc. While I encourage you to contact your own specialist, I can give general tips that may help everyone in this situation. To facilitate healing, a patient should try to reduce every source of inflammation, lower stress, get 7-8hr of sleep each night, and maintain biorhythm by going to sleep at the same time ideally before midnight. You should exercise 30 min/ day or 3 hours per week. Take baby aspirin and supplement several grams of fish oil (assuming it's fine with your doctor). DO NOT DIET or restrict calories unless you are morbidly obese and are following medical advice, because the body needs sufficient nutrients to heal. Make sure you get at least 50 grams of fat per day ideally from sources like salmon, olive oil, avocado, etc. Try to eat mostly whole/ unprocessed foods, although I understand it's expensive. Consider going to local farms to get fresh produce in bulk if that's feasible for you. Perhaps most importantly, try to maintain a positive attitude and mind-body-spirit connection, practicing meditation, prayer or other form of spirituality. This has very real impact on outcomes in neuroscience. Keep a journal at least weekly to document your progress. Good luck & God bless.

I am not entirely sure what helped but once I did all that my sense of smell returned. You should also watch the videos on the medcram Chanel, the doctor explained how a lot of people have benefited from essential oil therapy. Also getting vaccinated helped my immune system to calm down and not be so much in overdrive, it helped ease some of my lingering symptoms.

I had these exact symptoms at the beginning of 2015. I was in despair for a few months with the symptoms described in the video, and can relate to everything they say. I saw an ENT after about 5 months from the onset of the problem. He told me that that year he had seen quite a few people with that problem, which he said was caused by a cold virus that was circulating that year. He told me that the virus had wiped out my olfactory nerves and that they would regenerate, but it would take time - I had to be patient. What I was experiencing was the nerves regrowing, but misfiring, like it says in the video. After about a year, my sense of smell was almost back to normal. A few scents took longer to recover - onions and bananas for me were the last to come back, but they did. Please hang in if you are suffering from this; there is hope. To keep my sanity, I periodically throughout the day would sniff things that had a strong scent, like soaps, eucalyptus, things like that to prove to myself that I could still smell different things. Looking back, maybe that did help to retrain my sense of smell.

It didn’t click immediately but then I thought about it and so I tried so like smelling the alcohol bottle again… it was the only thing I could actually smell the true smell of in a very long time and again it seemed to help a bit… between that and it just naturally coming back I can taste and smell again! So keep up hope!!

It is a form of neurasthenic. When dealing with hospice patients with neurasthesia from chemo I always recommended zinc, B complex and essential fatty acids so like omega 3 supplements.

During chemo and radiation..I could smell and taste the chemical of doxil ..which is the chemotherapy I was given and my chihuahua would would sniff my chest where the port was located...I kept her of my lap because if she could smell chemicals then i wouldn't want her to absorb them through her skin..idk if that's a possibility but to be cautious I wouldn't hold her for periods longer than 5 mns..at a time.

I’m on my daughters account. I suffered for months with no taste or smell. I looked up some lab reports on Covid and something caught my eye. Vibration disrupted the ability for the virus to stay attached . So I bought a vibration machine on HSN and used it daily I got a headache for a few days then all my symptoms went away and I got my taste and smell back by 2 weeks it also helped with energy and helped with my legs . I’m not a doctor but this is my experience and I hope the information can be helpful. Most gyms have them as well

I contracted covid a year ago. Spent 3 months in ICU and through the Grace of God survived without being put on a ventilator. I lost 65% of my lung function, along with my taste and smell. I walked out of a months post ICU rehab 40kg lighter because I could not smell or taste! I had completely lost my appetite for my favorite foods. I've only just recently begun to regain both my smell and taste (intermittently) . I was told it was because of nerve damage in the nasal passages. They can and do heal with enough time !

I was very ill with every symptom of Covid back in December 2019. Nobody was talking about it then. I thought it was a medium severity flu...lasted nine days, not pleasant. But then a few days later I lost all smell and taste. I ground some fresh cinnamon and could not smell it at all. I asked my dad to smell it and it blew him away so it was not old sticks. It is now August 2021, nearly two years later. I have some smell and taste, but some things don't taste at all and others are way off. Dr Pepper soda for example, tastes like some sort of cleaner. Pepsi tastes pretty normal, and coke has nearly no taste at all. I do taste sweet, salt and spicy....but cant differentiate which particular flavor it is in most cases...even chocolate. I cant taste meat usually, then sometimes I can. I completely stopped eating chicken, I cant taste it. And everywhere there is a strange smell I cannot identify as ever having experienced. It comes and goes, in the same space with no source or anything cooking or anything. Fortunately its not bad, its just annoying and overpowers everything. I cant smell garlic or peppermint oil at all....yet this smell is something like peppermint , allspice and the smell of moldy citrus. I find it depressing. I don't eat much anymore either...not like I used to because I don't get an appetite. Then sometimes it all comes on and I can taste and smell nearly normal, so perhaps after all this time its healing. Im glad to find others experiencing similar phenomena. I do think it will go away completely some time...

I got covid again December 2020 . I didn't have the lung issue but I lost my sense of smell at first THEN food tasted bad. especially banana. It tasted like rotten chemicals. I'm ok after 7 months. I always had a smell issue. Like I cannot smell gas or rotten eggs. But I can smell cigarette all the way next door. Long distance.

It took me over a year to mostly recover from this. I lost my taste and smell during covid. Recovered from that. Then the parosmia kicked in 2 mos later. I wasted so much food. Taking one bite and tossing it. Going out to eat was a nightmare. It’s been about a year and a half creeping on 2. And I still hate cilantro, peanut butter and red wine. And my bf’s deodorant. That I used to love. But everything else is back, I didn’t hate cilantro previously. I loved peanut butter. I wasn’t a big wine drinker, but I didn’t hate it. At one point all I could eat was one brand of black bean burger Patties, one type of energy drink and protein shakes. Crackers tasted like armpits. Farts smelled so weird. My armpits smelled like onions. I hated lemons. But limes were fine. So interesting. I feel like my healing truly kicked in after I started microdosing. Of course I can’t prove that. But I was at 6 months with few changes. Prior to that.

Lo and behold, all I can smell is cigarette smoke (no one smokes) and a metallic taste in my mouth since then. Is this still ongoing? I'm on tablets to flush it out at the moment so I did wonder if it was them causing it. Is this still an issue for you? Wish I could lose 20kg :-)
