Episode 88 - “You Recovered From COVID-19. Now Your Coffee Smells Like Sewage" by Sarah Zhang

The Smell Podcast

This week, I’d like to share with you all an article titled “You Recovered From COVID-19. Now Your Coffee Smells Like Sewage” written by Sarah Zhang for the Atlantic. This article was published on March 22, 2021. Sarah interviewed a woman named Ruby Martinez who at first lost her sense of smell and then began experiencing parosmia. This is now an all too familiar story but continues to be important which is why I wanted to share it with all of you. In addition to learning more about Ruby’s smell disorder story, Sarah dives into the background and science behind smell training and how it all began back in the 80s.
