Here is how people feel after losing their sense of taste and smell to coronavirus.
A few symptoms of coronavirus were added to the list a little late and it has been observed that the effects of the virus remain a long time after the test comes out negative. Loss of taste and smell was also observed and was added to the list of symptoms when more and more people started observing their senses were affected.
A man named Russel Donnelly shared a video of him in which he tries out food items with strong flavors and is unable to taste them as he is affected by the virus. He mentions that he has lost the sense of taste and proceeds to eat raw onion, garlic paste, and drinks up lemon juice. Watch the video here:
The man gulps down these food items easily showing no signs of uneasiness. He shares that he could feel the food items in his stomach but had no effect on his taste buds.
Most of the COVID-19 positive patients have complained of the same problem along with other symptoms like dry cough, fever, body ache, etc.
It is important to take care of yourself and take all the necessary precautions as people continue to face health issues even after the virus is gone.
