Dear MEL Topic Readers,
More than a million people in the US may not have regained sense of smell months after Covid-19 infection, study estimates
People lose some sense of smell as they age, just like the eyesight or hearing ability. But no particular virus or disease had been found to disrupt the sense of smell until the Covid-19 pandemic. A new study found that many Covid-19 patients experienced a lost or diminished sense of smell for months and some don’t seem to regain the sense ever. Olfactory Dysfunction, or OD, is the reduced or distorted ability to smell during sniffing or eating. Those who suffer OD may smell differently or things that aren’t there. Such symptoms not only impair the taste of food or drink but also could affect the person’s life. For example, they may not notice the odor from their socks or pet’s urine. Also, they may not realize if the food about to eat is spoiled or something is burning in the kitchen. Scientists and doctors haven’t gotten clues as to what is causing such problematic symptoms or how people can regain the sense of smell yet.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about another damage that Covid-19 could cause to humans.
