      Exactly the words I use to describe my taste and smell.
      Lavender hand soap, Meatballs, toothpaste, and cow manure compost all smell the same.
      Toothpaste is awful. And some how I have gained weight trying to fulfill a void.
      Ice cream taste like gasoline.

      I just call mine the smell or the taste.... For those who don't suffer with it I don't think they can understand so many things just smell or taste the same (icky) and not a smell they would know or that I can describe. I hate this.

    This has happened to me since I had COVID last summer. Lots of my favorite foods no longer taste the same, like there is a weird aftertaste that I cannot always describe. It started with potato chips. Every bag I open tastes like it hasn’t been sealed properly and their is like a perfume taste (almost like air freshener). At first I thought I just wasn’t closing the bags very well at home. But then I realized that I taste it with brand new bags. Cocktail sauce and certain seasonings all taste the same as foods my husband cooks on the grill when he uses cherry wood (I don’t have any other way of explaining that. It is so weird). I pray this all goes away! I love to eat and enjoy tasting foods so much. Hoping everyone else here has improvement soon too! Prayers!

      Yeah we were walking around an amusement park yesterday, and it was when my dad mentioned how tempting the popcorn smelled that I realized that was the bad smell that kept showing up. I had Covid over the summer but didn’t develop the parosmia till a month after, and it’s been almost 3 months exactly since the parosmia started. This is much better than when it began, at least, because it would have been more sickening before.

I still can't really smell a lot of things or I can but they smell totally different.

    This is so true and it’s actually nice to know that we’re not alone in this. I had the Delta back in August and have not regained smell or taste except for the same nasty chemical taste and smell on just about everything. I’ve done some research and discovered that parosmia is probably what I have and now after watching this video, I’m certain of it. I have not been to the doctors for it and not sure if they could do anything about it. I started to smell therapy back in November and it wasn’t very effective so I’ve moved onto the next set of essential oils for further smell therapy. I’ve just started my eighth month without proper taste and smell and I am hoping that this round of smell therapy will help. It’s very disappointing when a cup of coffee makes you wanna gag. The smell of it brewing and the taste of it is disgusting and I was always a huge coffee lover. That’s just one of the trigger foods. I wish the best for whoever is going through the same thing and hope that you regain your sense of smell and taste soon!

      Edit: Hey, good news-3 months after the parosmia and dysgeusia started, I’m eating eggs again. I don’t love them yet, but they’re not as gross as before. Same with a lot of other foods, like I’m okay with most meats again. It’s mainly peanut butter and chocolate that are still gross, and foods that have a lot of oil (besides coconut/olive oil and butter)

    For me, this affects different foods in different ways. Beef, Eggs, and Onions have it bad. Coffee, Toothpaste, Garlic, Pork, and most other foods also taste weird.
    It's been going on for about 3 months. I've tried the Orange trick, and it helped to quell it a bit, but I acknowledge it might just be Placebo. I just tried out a trick where you bite into an onion like an apple, for now it doesn't seem to have done anything, but I'll give it some time.
    Some easy things I know are safe to eat are Ramen, Grilled Chicken, Potatoes, and non-citrus fruits.
    What's weird is that this is the first indication I had that I even had Covid. I never lost any taste in the first place, or at least I don't think I did. I got sick a couple months before this started, but it didn't seem any different from the normal seasonal sickness I have every year, and a lot less intense than when I first got Covid back in December 2019.

    1 month after COVID everything suddenly smelled and tasted like burnt garlic with wet dirt. I’ve been like this for 6 months, this has caused weight loss (20 pounds), extreme depression (taking antidepressants) and a very weird relationship with food, eating is no longer something I enjoy or look forward to, it’s an annoying chore I must do to stay alive. The most recent specialist told me there’s nerve damage to the nerves responsible for smell and he’s unsure if it’s permanent. Only time will tell.

I was sick for about 3 months with covid (December 2020 - March 2021) and thought covid was put behind me. Booooy was I wrong. The best way I can describe it is that everything smells and tastes like moldy/mildew-y gasoline and chemicals. It's usually always like this, but sometimes it flares and is truly unbearable.

    Had covid in December. Lost my sense of smell, but didn’t lose my taste. A while later I started to get my smell back, but then things started to smell different. Then I would smell things that weren’t even there, like cigarette smoke when no one was smoking. Now my smell AND my taste is completely messed up. Meat tastes burnt or like gasoline. And every food tastes so similar. The way that I describe it is like every food has the same “under taste” . Like how our hair and our skin has “undertones”. EVERY food has the same under taste and it’s disgusting. I’ve been breathing only through my mouth for about a week now because I can’t take the smells. Especially when I eat I just try to not smell it.

Its all disgusting and depressing, my sense of smell is still pretty weak, I have to try really hard to smell things and it is almost never pleasant. I am also a mechanic and I can't tell the difference between gasoline, exhaust, oil or coolant smells or if something is burning so it is really a loss of one of my best diagnostic aids and also potentially very dangerous.

    Dude I literally couldn't eat ANYTHING for like a week and a half without wanting to vomit because the taste of everything was absolutely vile beyond words. 5 months later now my body is letting off an odor that is even more vile. And I still have a lingering bad smell in my nose of spoiled milk. I mean come on man what in the heck is going on with this bizarre life anymore

    Hey does any of your tastes or bad smells last longer than when you first eat it bc that’s what I’m dealing with currently I ate some cookies the other day and it stuck for hours

    To me everything smells like rotten flesh or rotten garbage. Eggs, onions, peppers, meat, coffee, and peanut butter all taste bad. My daughter made butterscotch cookies and I couldn’t even finish one. She was probably insulted but I couldn’t do it. Thus is such a frustrating symptom

    Had covid during Christmas/New years. Not sure when my taste changed but when I tried to eat cool ranch Doritos (my favorite) a couple months ago, they tasted like some kind of burnt chemical. Can’t have dark coffee anymore either. Even bread has that similar burnt chemical taste and smell. It’s September 20 now

    I lost my sense of smell and taste in the past 3 months, im just starting to recover my senses, and now specifically FRIED FOOD tastes like GASOLINE, fried egg is the worst specifically the EGG WHITE, I couldn't swallow it, its reeks of gasoline/ petrol.
    cooking with BUTTER helps to mask the GASOLINE smell, and i use mustard on the side with almost every meal.

    I almost feel like the last thing you smelled or tasted keeps repeating but in a gross distorted way, with a flair of gas
