I lost my sense of taste, how long will that last?
Awesome question. I love this one. It will come back between 3 to 4 weeks. Seems like a long time, but dude, you've destroyed them for the past {insert years here}.
And when they come back, be prepared. A lot of things you've come to love while dipping will not taste the same. Some people give up coffee, some beer. Everything will taste a bit different and some of it will be glorious.
