Parosmia

Brooke Viegut, whose parosmia began in May 2020, worked for an entertainment firm in New York City before theaters were shuttered. She believes she caught Covid in March during a quick business trip to London, and, like many other patients, she lost her sense of smell. Before she regained it completely, parosmia set in, and she could not tolerate garlic, onions or meat. Even broccoli, she said at one point earlier this year, had a chemical smell.
She still can’t stomach some foods, but she is growing more optimistic.
“A lot of fruits taste more like fruit now instead of soap,” she said. And she recently took a trip without getting seriously nauseous. “So, I’d say that’s progress.”

Funny thing...I really didn't have taste issues with COVID until months later. For some crazy reason, starting about eight weeks ago, some things just don't taste right...Coffee, for instance. They aren't off tremendously, but they have a bit of olive oil taste.
