I just lost my ability to smell and taste after washing the bathroom with strong bathroom CIF

I was using this strong Cif spray when cleaning the bathroom. It's a brand new bottle and I used up half a bottle, spraying all over the walls, glass and bathroom floor. Then I scrubbed all over. It took me half an hour and I could smell the Cif.

But after I cleaned up and showered, dried myself, I suddenly realized that I couldn't smell any more. So I took some almonds. I couldn't taste the almonds as well.

Strange. I hope it isn't covid-19. I do not even feel the slightest unwell in me. Just took my temperature, it's 36.4.

:frown:
How's your new washing machine?

A man came home from office, cleaned himself and ready for dinner, after having first bite he scolded his wife that food is tasteless. His wife got up, called the municipal corporation doctor and told them that her husband doesn't have taste... Municipal ambulance came and took him away and now he is in 14 days quarantine.
This is a warning to all men who find their wife's cooking tasteless

I have recovered 30% or so of my taste and smell. It has been almost 3 hours or so since I lost it. I think it isn't covid -19. That super cif lime scale cleaner is too toxic.

You've had a close shave. Suggest you go easy on the chemicals next time, have the rest of the night off, and sooth yourself with an ice cream and a burrito.

Now I am a little worried. It has been half an hour and I still cannot smell or taste. I justate a couple of almonds and I can't taste the honey butter almonds too. I search the net and found this and hopefully, this is true and it isn't covid-19.

HOUSEHOLD CLEANING PRODUCTS

Your sense of smell could be affected by too much cleaning.

‘Using strong household cleaners, such as bleach, a few times a week in unventilated areas such as a small bathroom can cause the toxic smell to affect the delicate lining and sensory cells in the nose,’ says Mr Murty.

‘This applies to the serial cleaners among us at home, but is also particularly relevant to those who work in industries that use chemicals such as chlorine, acids or solvents — or are even surrounded by metal dusts — on a day-to-day basis.’

Whether the sense of smell returns depends on how long there’s been a problem and how badly the cells have been affected: it can be permanent.

I don't think it's the bathroom cleaner. It's most likely wuhan virus! Good luck!
