Sogrape co-develops kit to restore sense of smell in Covid patients

[Andy Velebil]

Thought this was pretty cool. Hope it works.

Among the many unpleasant symptoms and side effects of Covid-19 is the diminishing or even total loss of smell; something that for wine lovers is akin to Superman losing his powers.

A clever sensory kit has been created which could help to change that. Portugal’s Sogrape wine group, which owns brands including Mateus rosé, Marqués de Burgos and Sandeman, has joined forces with scientists at the University of Aveiro (UA) to create an all-natural kit to help retrain the sense of smell in patients with olfactory diseases such as Covid-19. It’s the Kryptonite, if you will, to Covid’s nasal clutches.

Very nice indeed! I know too many who are afraid of loosing it!

I have a friend from Liverpool who is a well-known Somm. When she had Covid-19 and lost her taste and smell for well over a half year. She would've paid thousands of pounds for anything that would have brought her senses back earlier than they eventually returned. I have a friend in OR who has never regained either of her senses of taste/smell and is still praying nightly. I really hope that this Sogrape "cure" works for people that depend on these senses. I have a strong feeling that this virus will be with us for quite a few more years!
