My girl got hit with that shit over the weekend. Wasn't too bad, low grade fever for a few days. She's pretty much back to normal now but can't smell or taste a thing. She's been taking zinc to help it. Anyone know any remedies or how long it takes before it comes back? I read about olfactory training. Fuck the CCP and their lab experiment.

Did your girl get her scent/taste back?
Currently the only thing I can actually taste is spicy beef jerky. Really hoping the taste thing only lasts a couple days
It's the only part of this sickness that I have really had a problem with.
Thanks
Yup after about five days. Did some research and there’s this thing you can do called scent training. We got some essential oils; lemon, eucalyptus and clove. A few times a day you just spend a few minutes smelling them and then just keep smelling stuff around the kitchen; peanut butter, hot sauce, basil etc and think in your head what those things smell like. It sounds weird but it works and helps jump start and bring back online all the scent receptors that virus messed with. When it comes back there can be a weird chemical/burnt/metallic smell too but that gradually goes away.
