Could this be used to help people lose long term weight?
Losing my sense of taste temporarily was frightening. I do most of the cooking for my family and I worried greatly that it would be permanent. It was really weird too. I could taste citric acid and that was it. I could tell if something was sweet, as in my brain recognized it as sweet, but I couldn’t actually taste it. My sense of smell was nonexistent at the time too. I was so relieved when my sense of taste and smell returned.
Prior to reading, I’m curious how this squares with the observed loss in volume of olfactory bulb in COVID patients.
