Had Covid 3 months ago, now suddenly hate taste of meat

Anyone else? I had Covid in October, it was relatively mild and I’m completely over it. However, over the last couple of weeks I can’t stand meat or fish any more, it just tastes horrible. I don’t have Covid again, I LFD daily due to my job and had a PCR last week.

Any ideas?

I was talking to a friend yesterday whose husband has had exactly this - 70 days after Covid things started smelling/tasting wrong. According to her a thing.

*it’s a thing.

I'm ok with most meat, except chicken. It literally makes me want to vomit. So strange, it's the meat I would normally choose.

Interested in this thread?

Snap. October and I've now got less interest in beef mince and large meals in general. Usually love mushrooms or tomatoes but find they decide whether I want a meal.

My son is the same. Used to love chicken. Now can’t stand it

Thanks everyone. Definitely not pregnant. Will put it down to Covid and just cross my fingers it passes.

Omg I've been researching this all night as to why me and my family can not hack meat anymore!
We recently had covid!

I had covid first week of November... only just getting my sense of smell back...and what I CAN taste, tastes WRONG.
I'm veggie so no meat involved but all my favourite foods don't taste right.
It sucks!

Hi.
Do not doubt yourself, my dp had covid nearly 2 yrs ago and still has distorted taste amongst other things.
We've found that tastes change all the time.even now, 15 months after long covid kicked in, it's still changing week to week.

Have a look on Facebook for some support groups, my dp had found real help from them.

This happened to one of my EXDH pupils too. He cannot tolerate the taste of meat at all now, got COVID over a year ago.
