Summary
Crocus 46743 developed long COVID after a COVID infection; the lingering problem was distorted taste and smell, with most lettuce tasting rank and nasty, onions losing their punch and some foods tasting like dog food. After starting Prozac the distortion abated, and a day or two later lettuce no longer had the same smell. Their psych was mystified but pleased.
