So has anyone figured out a solution to fixing the lack of taste after COVID? Almost 2 years in and I still can't taste shit. What the fuck is this miserable life. I feel like I've eaten a good share of rotten food. I can't tell unless the texture is off.
>Can't taste
>Still crave specific foods.

Covid barely effected me at the time and I was at the height of my alcoholism when I caught it. I don't get how all these people can't smell or taste, what did you get vaxxed or something?

[Anonymous No.19781155]

Everybody at the restaurant where I worked suddenly tested positive last year. I had zero symptoms but my chef/owner of the place got sick as a dog and had severely impaired sense of taste and smell for a long time after.
I felt pretty damn bad for him about not being able to taste but it thankfully did come back eventually.
That has to be the ultimate nightmare scenario for a gourmet chef I guess.

Covid literally causes brain damage to the parts of the brain in charge of taste and smell. Which is kinda funny since you need to be already brain damaged to catch it in the first place lmao

It's highly unusual for a ball python to develop a preference for chicken nuggets. In the wild, ball pythons eat primarily small mammals, like rodents. In captivity, they're usually fed a diet of rats or mice.

If your ball python has somehow developed a taste for chicken nuggets, it's crucial to redirect its diet back to more appropriate prey items for the sake of its health. Here's what you can try:

Fasting Period: Ball pythons can go quite a while without eating. While it's not ideal, sometimes a fasting period can reset their feeding habits. Once you present the appropriate food (like a mouse) after a period of fasting, they might be more inclined to eat it.

Scenting: Try scenting the mouse or rat with the chicken nugget. Wipe the nugget over the rodent or let the rodent sit in the same container as the nugget (without them touching) to allow the scent to transfer. This might make the rodent more appealing to the snake.

Temperature: Make sure the prey item is at the right temperature. Ball pythons use their heat-sensing pits to detect warm-blooded prey. Ensure the rodent is appropriately warmed up before offering it to the snake.

Environment: Ensure that the snake's habitat is appropriate – the right temperature gradient, humidity, and hiding spots. If a ball python doesn't feel secure, it might not eat.

Veterinarian Visit: If you can't get your snake back onto a proper diet, or if you have any concerns about its health, consult with a veterinarian who specializes in reptiles. They can offer guidance and ensure that there aren't underlying health issues.

It's essential to be patient. Snakes, especially ball pythons, can be notoriously picky eaters, but with persistence, you can usually get them back on track.

Nope, either it comes back or it doesn't. You just got unlucky. That's the nasty thing about covid for most people it's just a flu but for some it either kills you, cripples you or ruins your sense of taste/smell for the rest of your life as far as well can tell.
On the bright side if you need to lose weight it'll make dieting easier.

I had lost my senses for about 3 weeks but I deliberately practiced every day with scent training and also ate really highly seasoned foods, lots hot hotsauce and stuff
then one day there was a sour vinegar smell in my nose and slowly things started coming back to me

when things came back its like my sense of smell and taste is turned up to 11 now, through my daily practices they're way more acute than they ever were before and because of that my tastes have changed. I really can't tolerate slop and processed foods anymore at all

it's literal nerve damage to your smell receptors, you need to rehab them the same way you would any other injury

[Anonymous No.19783327]

Still nothing? Sorry anon. I lost taste for a couple weeks and thought that was awful. My taste is still not back to normal of course though, but at least I can taste now. One unfortunate change though is that all cream now smells like rotten cheese, no matter how fresh or sweet it is.

Immunologist here, unfortunately it's probably not going to come back. Your senses are extensions of your nervous system, i.e. neurons. Neurons don't replicate, you've got what your ever going to have and they wont regrow when some die. COVID attacked some peoples nervous system causing covid cognitive fog, lost of taste and other "long-covid" symptoms. Sorry.

In some cases, it seems to have disrupted the synapses instead of the neurons. Things fixing themselves after that isn't too weird; the dendrites and axons would still be in physical proximity. There is neurogenesis, but it's a real slow process in adults and gets slower with age.
Anosmia may spontaneously fix itself (that happened to a family member). Exact reasons why aren't well studied.

If you can find some extreme tastes you can still taste (artificial sweetners, synthetic bitter, etc) you can try to train yourself to detect them at lower and lower thresholds.
