I experimented with a bunch of foods and food-safe strong smelling/tasting things. Even spicy was knocked out which surprised me. I would have thought that would have remained unaffected

That was one of the few times in life I’ve really been concerned about my quality of life if the effects were permanent

Like, I’ve thought about “what if I lost my sight/hearing/limbs” but taste and smell never really occurred to me. But it was truly life altering and I really considered what I’d do if I didn’t get those senses back
