I have to reintroduce certain flavors after my loss of taste 2 years ago. Feels like installing tongue software. It's weird going from "this barely has flavor" to "wow this is really good today"
An improvement is still an improvement! I caught covid in 2021 and my sense of smell is still about half of what it used to be. I used to be hyper sensitive to smells but not catches my attention anymore. Not even when someone spilled a container of mineral spirits by me... That was a weird one.
