I have a acquaintance who got "it" (as I don't think any of us truly know what "it" is) about a year ago April 15th. Similar to your husband, he's went through a series of issues with taste and smell. He even had a period of 2-3 months where he couldn't stand the taste or smell of any meat. This guy is a red neck carnivore, so that phase put a dent in his day. It's been fading harder since around late Jan. Bazaar crap.
