Covid-19: Even if the corona survives the infection, the sense of smell may be lost forever.

The coronavirus has infected more than 11 million people worldwide and died more than half of the million people. Survivors, however, may not realize it, but some of them have lost their sense of smell. They are psychologically difficult to live with because of anosmia and there is no real cure.

An increasing number of people are paying the price after recovering from the coronavirus infection. Maillard, president of anosmie.org, a French group created to help victims, says that anosmia removes fragrance from your life and is torture. They say that if you go through such a situation, you may not feel the aroma of your morning coffee. You cannot feel the smell of soap on the skin.

Mallard says you become aware of your sense of smell when this ability is exhausted, which itself lost this ability after an accident. He explains that people with anosmia cannot even smell the leaking gas or the smoke coming out of the fire.

Alan Corey, an ear, nose, and throat specialist at the Hospital-Fondation Rothschild in Paris, says a completely different eating experience is over. The more we appreciate the taste of food, the more we can appreciate its aroma. He explains that anosmia can be caused by dozens of reasons including diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, nasal pulps, chronic rhinitis, etc.

He says that now the name of coronavirus has also been included in the list of these diseases, which may cause people to lose their sense of smell. "Once people lose their sense of smell and it doesn't come back, we feel a real change in our quality of life," he says. Obviously, when this happens, depression also increases in people, which is not insignificant.
