Did anyone “smell” different

[Lemons1571]

I’m sorry if this sounds totally crazy. But with the original infection and subsequent flare ups, my body sweat smells different. Like yeast. It’s not thrush or anything like that, and it comes and goes with the symptoms coming and going.

I googled it and came up with TB. I’m pretty sure I haven’t had TB. Anyone had similar?

Is it possible that it's not your body sweat smelling different but your nose that is perceiving it differently? Loss of smell is a known symptom of Covid, and partial loss of smell isn't necessarily "everything smells normal but fainter", it can be a differential loss of different smell elements. So your sweat smells different because you've lost the ability to small some parts of it, and other parts seem stronger by comparison.

Have you got anyone else who can tell you whether you're smelling different?

In this article there are some mentions of people detecting a distinctive COVID smell from infected patients. Obviously the dogs are much better at it!

This is an old thread but I’ve had exactly that. I’m pretty certain I had it in March and now my skin and sweat smell yeasty...

Interesting, especially given the link between diabetes and Covid (both the high risks for diabetics, and the reports that Covid has triggered diabetes in previously healthy patients). Poorly controlled diabetes is often linked to yeast infections such as thrush.
