Medical research for parosmia

The Issue

Parosmia is a post covid side effect affecting millions of people who have lost their taste and smell only to regain it and have almost every taste and smell register in the brain as something absolutely rancid that the affected would describe as “rotten food, trash, dirty dishwater etc).  There is little to no research on how to cure this and it is very devastating  to the people who have it. It is hard to smell or eat almost anything.  People with the condition complain of being depressed as it is mentally taxing, hungry, and exhausted since they can’t get a proper diet of nutrients into their system. We would love to try and get some medical professionals or organizations to do some studies or clinical trials on this to search for a cure!
