Summary
After a first COVID-19 infection everything smelled and tasted like vinegar for a month, and again for a month after flu in 2023; a second COVID infection caused no such problem. Years earlier mononucleosis had left everything much worse for a few years before they gradually returned to baseline. Both episodes of distorted taste resolved.
