Permenantly altered sense of taste and smell here. Anything sweet tastes like sour patch kids.

I work with younger people who have almost entirely lost their sense of smell. It seems like a minor issue compared to heart and lung problems, but there are a bunch of studies showing it can lead to depression in a significant amount of people. About a third of people also have a lower sex drive with olfactory loss, which is also troubling. (It’s not related to depression; it’s a whole separate issue.)
