Changing Tastes - Covid
21 Answers
Since having Covid over Christmas I’ve now recovered my sense of smell but I haven’t wanted to drink coffee at all. I just tried a cup and I still don’t want it. Is it usual for tastes to change with Covid? I’ve never heard of it.

Red wine had an off taste/smell for quite a while, but whiskey was unaffected.
Coffee (fresh brewed) tasted fine, but the appetising aroma was much reduced.
Took about a month for most things to get back to normal.

Quite common, Naomi. There was a ‘piece’ about it on the one show. Roman Kemp is a sufferer.

DTC. My taste has been shot since well before Covid, due to long term cig smoking.
I stopped the fags 3 weeks ago and am sustaining myself with nicotine pouches (2 a day at a daily cost of 65p). My lungs are much quieter, my stride has become longer and of a more rapid cadence, and soon I hope to be skipping upstairs.
I still can't afford Talbot, so I can't honestly claim any genuine preference between 2006 and 2009.

Yes. I didn't lose my sense of taste and smell until a good month after covid.
It was then all messed up, and I couldn't drink coffee for about six months or more.
There is a difference to the effect of a cold. With a cold mucus blocks the smell from reaching the receptors, but with covid it actually damages the nerves that take the messages to the brain.
