Covid-19 survivor says the disease has ruined her life by making her favourite foods smell putrid. Sarah Govier, 44, caught the virus in May and like many others lost her sense of smell but months after it came back she was struck by a bizarre new symptom - a total distortion of her sense of smell and taste.
The mum-of-two said nearly “all food smells rotten” and she’s lost weight because she can barely bring herself to eat some of her favourite meals.
She likens the taste of meat to floral soap or perfume, toothpaste tastes more like petrol than mint, and coffee has an odour of car fumes or cigarette smoke, according to the Daily Mirror.
