  If everything seems spicy what happens when you eat spicy food?

    I’m not sure, but I’ll let you know once I can have spicy food again. I’ll also add lots of sweet foods taste waxy at the moment as well, which is strange.

  Just be grateful you didn’t smell smoke that wasn’t there for three months after having COVID.

  I believe it’s really common to have things taste/smell wrong for a while as your senses return - something to do with your brain having to relearn what some smells actually are and getting it wrong. Spicy does not sound too bad, the most common is to have things taste/smell foul or rotten.

    Yeah would much rather everything taste like it’s been seasoned to resemble lava than it tasting like I picked it out of a bin.

  What an odd symptom. Can’t say I had that one! I was actually trying to eat as much spicy stuff as I could when I lost my taste/smell to try and taste something.

    I would give anything to be able to eat a curry laksa but not experience the spiciness of it.

    I have a very low tolerance to spicy foods :(

    I’ve googled and can’t find anything about it so I’m semi thinking it might be a mixture of covid and my ulcer meds doing a number on my taste buds.

      To be honest anything’s possible worth this thing.

      So many symptoms associated with it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it did it by half measures too.
