SOURCE: NY POST –<\/strong> For millions of people, the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Roughly one in four people who were sick with COVID-19 during the early days of the pandemic have yet to regain their sense of smell or taste.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the startling finding of a new study\u00a0published in The Laryngoscope.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Though the loss of smell and taste seems like a curious quirk or a novelty, medical experts disagree.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cLosing your sense of smell or taste isn\u2019t as benign as you may think,\u201d said Neil Bhattacharyya, a professor at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, in a journal news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can lead to decreased eating for pleasure and, in more extreme cases, it can lead to depression and weight loss,\u201d Dr. Bhattacharyya added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One of Dr. Bhattacharyya\u2019s patients lost 50 pounds due to his loss of smell and taste.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe patient wasn\u2019t eating and became very sick and very depressed,\u201d Dr. Bhattacharyya, a co-author of the study,\u00a0told Fortune.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe classic thing patients tell me is that food tastes like cardboard,\u201d he added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

People who have lost their sense of taste after a COVID-19 infection say their food tastes like cardboard.<\/p>\n

And for some, the loss of taste or smell can have severe consequences if, for example, they can\u2019t smell a gas leak or a house fire, or if their career depends on taste and smell.<\/p>\n

Last year, \u201cTop Chef: Houston\u201d competitor Jackson Kalb\u00a0revealed he lost his sense of taste after contracting COVID-19 \u2014 just days before he was set to compete on the reality show.<\/p>\n

Eight months later, the chef said his taste had returned 100 percent, although he was \u201cnot sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest study looked at data from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which includes survey information from almost 30,000 adults across the United States.<\/p>\n

The survey data showed that in 2021, 35.8 million people \u2014 about 14 percent of the adult U.S. population \u2014 had been diagnosed with COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Of those people, 60.5 percent reported a loss of smell, and 58.2 percent reported a loss of taste.<\/p>\n

These symptoms were especially common among people with more severe cases of COVID-19 infection.<\/p>\n

By the end of 2021, almost 25 percent of them still hadn\u2019t fully recovered their full senses of smell or taste, and more than 3 percent didn\u2019t recover them at all.<\/p>\n

Once again, people with more severe cases were more likely to have an incomplete recovery \u2014 or none at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe value of this study is that we are highlighting a group of people who have been a bit neglected,\u201d Dr. Bhattacharyya said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"Millions<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Newer variants of the coronavirus are less likely to cause a loss of the senses of smell and taste.<\/p>\n

Another important outcome of the study is the evidence that getting vaccinated \u2014 and taking Paxlovid if you\u2019re infected with the coronavirus \u2014 is the best way to avoid losing your senses of smell and taste.<\/p>\n

Both the vaccine and the antiviral Paxlovid have been proven to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the study authors noted.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the loss of smell and taste with COVID-19 infections might be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond have found that the newer variants of the coronavirus now circulating present a much lower risk of smell and taste loss.<\/p>\n

In 2022 and early 2023, as Omicron variants dominated, the risk of smell loss from infection was as low as 6 percent compared with earlier 2020 variants.<\/p>\n

Higher immunity to the coronavirus could be a factor in this decline, Evan Reiter, medical director of VCU Health\u2019s Smell and Taste Disorders Center and lead author of the new study,\u00a0said in a news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have the data on what\u2019s causing this decline in smell loss as a symptom of COVID-19, but \u2026 this might be related to our increased immunity to the virus, either through vaccines or having an earlier infection, as this typically helps reduce the severity of future infections,\u201d Dr. Reiter said.<\/p>\n
