Abstract

Julie Walsh-Messinger, University of Dayton assistant professor of psychology, has contributed to a new massive crowdsourced survey of COVID-19 patients from around the world which provides the greatest evidence to date of a link between COVID-19 and the loss of smell, taste and chemesthesis — or sensitivity to chemicals such as those in chili peppers. The findings may have implications for prioritizing the limited supply of COVID-19 tests.
