Like many other Britons laid low by symptoms of Covid-19, Nicola Watt lost her senses of smell and taste. She began to get used to what she describes as a €śwoody, kind of burnt, slightly perfumed smell in my nose the whole time€ť.

Four and a half months later she succumbed to an unsettling and rapidly spreading condition that is an unusually unpleasant after-effect of a brush with the coronavirus. €śQuite suddenly everything smelt and tasted like a horrid rubbish bin,€ť said Watt, 51, last week. €śIt started quite mildly and got much stronger. It was absolutely disgusting.€ť

Watt, from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, had become a victim of parosmia, an obscure condition that fills the nose with wildly distorted smells that range from €śsewage chemicals€ť to burnt wood.

Maybe the Brit needs to brush her teeth?
