1. Garlic
According to Professor Carl Philpott from Fifth Sense, a U.K. based charity supporting people affected by smell and taste disorders, garlic is one of the items that most people have in their household, and also a good indicator for COVID-19.
He wrote in his COVID Symptom Study, that garlic, coffee, and coconut are the items you can use in order to find out if you have COVID-19 or not. He mentioned that even though those items are proven to be very efficient, you can smell other strong scents you might find in your home, so you don’t have to buy something just to make these tests.
He also explained that you should be very careful with the items you smell. For example, stay away from items like bleach, air freshener, or other strong scents, as they can damage your nasal passage.

I can smell all of it.
Coffee nauseates me. Can’t stand the smell of it. Yes I can still smell it when it’s around but not in my house
