Like countless other young Aussies, I caught Omicron over the holiday period. I had a fever, body aches, headaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue. As I was starting to feel better, what I didn’t expect was losing my sense of taste and smell on day five.
With Delta, anosmia (loss of taste and smell) or parosmia (distorted sense of taste and smell) was an early warning sign of infection, so I thought I was in the clear once my symptoms all hit. But alas.
