    Great news - a treatment that's low risk, convenient and (should be) low-cost as well.

    I found this study interesting for the physiology and biochemistry - (definitely not a convenient or low-cost treatment):

  2. #DNA evidence from the couch on which #Hitler killed himself shows that he likely suffered from #KallmannSyndrome, a genetic condition consistent with speculation that he had an undescended #testicle.

    He may also have had low #testosterone and/or a #micropenis, and possibly a diminished or absent sense of #smell.

  5. Some have a differing sensation of smells after Covid rather than losing their sense of smell. A treatment for blocking nerve pain is being tested for it and seems to bring back the correct sense of aromas, but this is yet unpublished work, so we will need to wait for the peer-review process to do its thing...

    “Mild COVID-19 infections can cause a loss of taste and smell, but a study today in JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery suggests that almost all cases resolve within 3 years of initial infection.”
