Consider that when you have a "cold", you often lose your taste and/or smell for a time. Most know that zinc is an important part of the immune system's defenses. So, when the body is dealing with something--immune system at work--lots of zinc will be used. When depleted, the sense of taste and smell don't work well for a few days. I have long considered that when I have a "cold", my body is doing some housecleaning. The process isn't always pleasant but we certainly don't want all those toxins to remain in our bodies.
A few days of no taste or smell due to active congestion is different from “weeks on end” or “only symptom.”
Early in the Covid cycle, before testing was available, my husband was wrecked by a “strange new virus” and as thought we would lose him. I got a cough...not the sickest I’ve ever been, but the weirdest I’ve ever felt, like every nerve was tingling. My teen couldn’t taste anything, but insisted she didn’t have any other cold symptoms. ?♀️
It’s silly to say there’s no virus- coronaviruses have been around for ages. From the moment I learned of this “new strain” from China, I felt strongly that we were under attack.
