December 22, 2021
Vanessa Villela, from the reality show “Selling Sunset,” is suffering from a long haul case of COVID-19, and she says that finding something she can eat is just one of her challenges. “A lot of food that I smell or taste, they smell or taste like sewage or like rotten meat - or like garbage!” she said. Vanessa contracted COVID-19 back in August, and missed five weeks of filming. She has never fully recovered. Researchers say up to 33% of COVID patients live with symptoms for months.
