A Reddit user shared a story of how she contracted COVID-19 and lost her sense of smell and also her sense of taste. Bored in quarantine, the American decided to experiment on herself. She ordered very spicy food from her favorite Thai restaurant based on the hotness scale.
“Yesterday it happened: I lost my sense of smell and taste. It’s strange, but it gave me the opportunity for new entertainment. I immediately drank black coffee, then began to experience new challenges and ate a whole licorice candy without feeling any effect. Then I got an idea! How about spicy food? ” – she explained her choice.
According to the American, eating Thai food with the symptoms of coronavirus was the strangest experience she had ever experienced. “My whole body was sweating. My eyes were sweating. I knew it was sharp, but in this case it didn’t matter,” she said. The author of the post emphasized that she began to experience severe physical pain, but decided to finish eating.
“And then the next day has come, and my tender stomach from New England is paying for yesterday’s recklessness. I only have one bathroom in my apartment, and I have to coordinate trips there with my mother so as not to put her at greater risk. I flew too close. to the sun, guys “, – admitted the lover of experiments.
In the comments, the American explained that spicy food hit her tongue and lips the most, but this sensation quickly passed. She noted that she is still able to distinguish very bitter, salty, sweet or sour foods, although she cannot taste or smell.
“I don’t even smell tea tree oil. I can put my face in a cup of coffee and breathe in, and I won’t feel anything,” the woman said.
