COVID-19 survivors experiencing ‘disgusting’ smell of fish: report

By Thomas A. Smith

Some COVID-19 survivors claim the virus has wreaked havoc on their sense of scent leaving them smelling disgusting odors such as fish and burnt toast.

Dr. Nirmal Kumar, an ear, nose and throat surgeon in the UK, said the very strange phenomenon among recovered virus patients is known as parosmia, Sky News reported.

This morning I saw two patients with parosmia. One said they could smell fish in place of any other scent, and the other can smell burning when there is no smoke around, Kumar said.
