If so, how did you know you lost your taste? I am currently under the impression that I don’t taste anything anymore, but I’m not sure.

It’s a bit weird to be honest. Like, if I see what I’m eating and I concentrate on how it SHOULD taste, then I can sort of taste it I guess? But if I just eat or drink without thinking about it, I don’t taste anything really.

So, how do you know if you have lost taste lol? And how long did it take for your taste to come back?

I tried asking people around me, but no one actually lost their taste when they had COVID.

    My girlfriend was making some oat bars in the oven and we forgot to set a timer. We did not realize that they were burning until the fire alarm went off and the smoke was already all over the apartment. This was around day 4 after our positive PCR tests (November 2020), while we were quarantining.

    When cutting with onions, I would not feel anything, but tears would still come out.

    When getting back my sense of smell, the first thing I was able to smell were cloves.

    I could not tell by smell whether something was water, listerine, or vodka.

    So, to test, you can stick your nose into a container of cloves, smell some alcohol, or bite an onion. I think I may have bit a lime and felt nothing, but I am not 100% sure of that.
