Summary
A person with long COVID since November 2020 had total loss of smell and taste through March 2021. As smell and taste slowly returned, foods such as meat, chicken, onion, garlic and eggs took on putrid smells and tastes, and lettuce, cucumber, olives and tomatoes became intolerable. By August 2021 they described themselves as miserable; no treatments or activity level were mentioned.
