Oh /ck/ is a election tourist colony too? My bad.

there's a current meme on the wellness internet that says nicotine patches can unfuck your sense of smell/taste if you had covid

try smelling some ammonia. if you can't smell that, you're fucked.

If you want to try this OP I get the 21mg patches and cut them into quarters, package says not to but I haven’t noticed any issue. Also don’t wear it overnight or your dreams will be super vivid

I lost my sense of smell 3 times, likely from covid three years in a row. It is so fucking annoying but I’ve learned to recalibrate my sense of smell by taking big huffs of vanilla extract multiple times a day and really focusing on the memory of the scent. Eventually I can start smelling the vanilla again and with it the rest of my sense of smell comes back.

Covid took almost all my sense of smell/taste back in 21', I have recovered a lot some but not 100%, I fucking hate that bioweapon.

Anon grab some essentials oils, a few of them. Smell them multiple times a day. It will quickly help you get your sense of smell back.

I'm lost me sense of smell 3 times. Food with interesting textures keeps things interesting. Pork floss was a favorite of mine. As for flavor hot sauce and/or circus gives things something close to flavor; the heat/acidity isn't linked to smell.

I'd say I'm at the 60% mark. Unless it's a big bold flavor I can't detect it. Saves me some money cause most premium foods have delicate flavors; but I'd rather be able to taste them.

Crazy how losing your sense of smell isn't a thing for the variants of flus and colds in the west. I lived in Korea for some years, and losing your sense of smell and taste was a common symptom for flus that didn't surprise anyone, though it rarely lasted more than a day or two. Also funny how it didn't happen to me with covid. A lot of you claiming to not be fully recovered are just in your own heads I expect.

You can lose your sense of smell from any upper respiratory disease, anon. I've lost mine from the flu multiple times.

>>21865122
I know. So why'd the whole world act like it was this crazy new shit that never happened before? Same old flu symptom I've known and lived with my whole life in Korea as a kid.
