Imagine having to force yourself to chew and swallow substances because you will die otherwise.

      I’m glad you got your taste back! One time I had chewed cinnamon gum all day and I guess inadvertently burned my taste buds. I couldn’t taste anything for a month or two!

        Oh speaking of burning, having raw onions kinda burns my tongue but i can taste things more afterwards. The onion probably cleaned my tongue microbiome so i have a stronger ability to taste.

      i partially lost it from covid, but the flu in '18 made me lose my apetite for a while, it was pretty surreal to not want to eat.
