Imani Ibrahim, a 34-year-old social worker, recently moved into a new home. She’s not quite sure what the house smells like — it could smell like rotten food, for all she knows.
Before March 2020, the Bronzeville resident relished indulging in doughnuts and churros. But now, at places like an amusement park where the sweets are mainstays, she’s unable to enjoy the smells she loves. She can’t tell flavors, either.
