I Can't Taste Anything
Adrian Wellock lost his sense of taste. After suffering a cold, he started getting a metallic taste in his mouth, which took his palate with it. These days, he only eats foods that are simple to chew and adds spice and herbs to ratchet up the smell. Find out what it's like when everything, actually tastes like nothing.

I remember watching this 5 years ago thinking “Damn this would really suck. I hope this doesn’t happen to me” And here I am quarantining with no sense of taste, smell, and difficulties breathing 🤡🤡🤡
lol, I thought the same thing, then I lost my taste and smell last year, then 6 months latert they came back, but distorted, so I am a very picky eater now, no vegetables or fruit, soap and parfume is aweful, no bread, no candy, etc, I basically live on milk and chicken now :(

My friend who was born with no taste says that prepping a meal is like an added chore that he doesn’t like doing but understands he must eat to survive. This hit hard when he said this and I’ve never forgotten. I appreciate my sense of taste immensely.

I lost my sense of taste and smell during covid for couple of days before it slowly started coming back. I could still physically feel the 'texture' of what I was chewing, so I could tell salad from bread for example, but the flavour was nonexistent to me.

I lost my sense of taste for a few days when I had coronavirus. Was absolutely petrified of losing it forever. Thankfully it returned, but that brief period without it was brutal. The first day, I had a bowl of cream of mushroom soup and figured I’d throw in some cayenne pepper to try and “wake up” my taste buds. Nope. Eating something spicy without being able to taste it is hell on earth to me. I then found myself eating things solely based on texture. Cereal became a fast favorite of mine, it’s a very texturally interesting food. I just about cried when I found I could taste again. God bless this guy. He’s living my nightmare.
