CORONAVIRUS: a New STRANGE SYMPTOM is ticked. Here’s WHAT happens to those who are SICK with COVID-19
A new STRANGE SYMPTOM appears for those who get sick from COVID-19A new one was discovered STRANGE SYMPTOM for those who get sick of coronavirus. In recent months we have seen how the effects of the infection give COVID-19
may have interference on the nervous system or his other devices. Now, there seems to be a new consequence, perhaps the most bizarre: it is called parosmia, or the distortion ofsmell. What does it mean? Who got sick of coronavirus would not distinguish odors: for example, the smell of meat would taste like oil, the prosecco of rotten apples, the burnt coffee.
Studies have found that the loss ofolfaction affects 50 to 80% of people who contract the virus. But if anosmia (total loss of smell) is an unusual and annoying condition, parosmia seems to be even more so. This is because odor distortion occurs with familiar smells. Pleasant scents are replaced by unpleasant odors, such as rotten vegetables or cigarette smoke.
But there is more. Parosmia makes food inedible and complicates simple, everyday gestures, such as washing dishes or brushing teeth.
The recovery of the sense of smell, than in patients COVID-19 it can happen in 1/2 weeks or more, it’s pretty slow since olfactory neurons take a long time to regenerate.
What do the experts say about it? Some have observed that parosmia, which is a symptom of odor recovery, is temporary, but that in some people it can last for years. The doctor
Claire Hopkins, President of the British Rhinological Society, he said it is wrong to think that the “loss or alteration of odors causes coronaviruses to be short-lived. There is a good chance of recovery, but there are a lot of people who will lose their sense of smell for a long period of time, with serious repercussions on their lives. In fact, the sense of smell also plays an important role in memory, nell’mood, nell’emotionality and dysfunction sufferers describe a feeling of isolation e
frustration“.
