Summary
Moon 87587 wrote eight months after a COVID-19 infection that human faeces and gas smelled sickly sweet, almost like rotting fruit, while their cat's litterbox smelled normal and, apart from an ingredient in some foods that tasted like an artificial chemical, their other taste and smell was back to normal. They did not know when the distortion would go back to normal. They gave no account of fatigue or activity level, so their overall state is unclear.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
