It affected my mom the most, but not for me at all. I didn't eat whatever though, I only felt like eating "easy" things like soup and tea and plain crackers, simple things for my stomach and nothing that would get me feeling sick. But I never lost my sense of taste or smell. My mom did, a little, but now that she's better it's back, but the strange thing is that she has ultra cravings for meat, she can't get enough now. Probably because she lost some weight and her body is craving protein, but I never got such cravings as that. I do seem to be eating more spicy things recently though, take that for what you will.
