I. Introduction
A. Attention Gainer
Can you imagine a deeply aromatic coffee alongside some waffles, crisp and of deep gold color with just the right amount of syrup on top. As you take a bite, it ends up tasting like “rotten, putrefying garbage”. On February 6, 2021, Chanay Knight spoke with BBC News on her unfortunate COVID-19 infection in which her total loss of taste developed into “a condition where tastes are distorted, and often become disgusting”.
B. Significance/interest (Source cite)
We’ve heard of the symptom ageusia, which is the total loss of taste relating to
COVID-19. However the symptom dysgeusia, the partial loss of taste has not been fully
researched. Last accessed February 28, 2022, the CDC reportsthat dysgeusia is “a
new or ongoing symptom that can last weeks or months after first being infected with
the virus that causes COVID-19”. The JAMA Otolaryngology Journal on November
18, 2021 reports that up to 1.5 million people in the United States continue to
experience long-term distortion in taste. News reports focus on the number of deaths or
the overflow in hospitals, but not on the lasting effects of losing one of our senses.
C. Thesis
Therefore, the condition of dysgeusia deserves a closer look.
D. Preview
Let’s first explore the origins, the impacts, and finally, the possible solutions of dysgeusia in the
future.
II. Body
A. Pt. 1 Claim + support (Source cites)
First, the origins of dysgeusia narrow down to cell receptors in the nose and mouth. The
May 27, 2021 issue in Nature Medicine states that once the strains of COVID-19 are
in your mouth and nose, it attacks the “cell system through the olfactory [tissue] inside
the nasal cavity” and through saliva inside oral cavities. After infection, the virus then
binds to ACE2 receptors present in the oral mucosa as you can see in this picture.
ACE2 receptors are enzymes found in nose and mouth tissues that help with wound
healing and inflammation. On February 9, 2022, the Journal of Clinical Medicine
stated that when the virus binds to ACE2 receptors, it prevents the enzymes from
performing its normal function to regulate and heal tissues. This causes rapid cell death
and a slow regeneration process which prolongs symptom recovery.
B. Pt. 2 Claim + support (Source cites)
Now, let’s look at the social and mental impacts of dysgeusia. Dsgeusia makes it difficult
for persons with this post COVID condition to socialize. On an NPR podcast on April 8,
2021, Sarah Zhang discussed the failed birthday party of her best friend. Her friend, a
person “who loves to eat”, was unable to enjoy her burger and fries like everyone else
because she only tolerated “eating a salad”. Dysgeusia isolates more than just the
sense of taste, but it also isolates the person from people, because no one can
understand losing something that is always taken for granted. Dysgeusia also worsens
the mental health of a person. Kate McHenry shared her decline in mental health due to
distorted taste with BBC News on December 25, 2021. Her rapid weight loss affected
her health and the isolation from people and food led to her developing depression.
McHenry states in the previous interview that she had to go “to therapy” due to low
feelings of never recovering from dysgeusia.
C. Pt. 3 Claim + support (Source cites)
After exploring the impacts of dysgeusia, I will now discuss the possible medical
solutions of it. The Thomas Jefferson University in Pennsylvania recently started a
clinical trial for the treatment of loss of smell and taste due to COVID-19. According to
PR Newswire on March 2, 2022, otolaryngologist Dr. David Rosen leads a
“first-of-its-kind platelet-rich plasma treatment”. Platelet-rich plasma, or (PRP) is a
“common restorative therapy used to regenerate cells and heal tissue”. Animal studies
have shown that PRP helps regenerate the olfactory tissue, which is a major site
affected by COVID-19. The human study of PRP treatment consists of monthly
applications for a minimum of three months. Trial results show that 50 percent of
participants experience significant improvements in taste. The procedure is painless but
a bit invasive since doctors use a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera and a light called
an endoscope to see the nerves in your nose and be able to place the PRP injection
directly on there. The treatment is currently not authorized for the public so it is still an
ongoing process.
The other possible solution to dysgeusia is taste therapy. According to the New York
Times on March 26, 2021,scientists advise people who suffer from dysgeusia to
basically relearn tastes and smells. Because we mentioned previously how cells are
dying and tissue takes longer to regenerate, the long gaps make the brain forget and
the disgusting smells to prolong. The tongue can detect basic tastes like sweet, sour,
savory and bitter but the nose can detect the flavor. A strawberry flavored drink will taste
sweet because it’s full of sugar, but the distinctive smell of strawberries will help a
person recognize it. The article states patients are encouraged to “follow two daily
sessions” of taste and smell training with the person’s most memorable or favorite
aromas and flavors. That way the brain can associate basic scents to memories and
relearn faster. It is considered to be the best option as of now due to it being simple and
accessible to anyone.
III. Conclusion
A. Review
So, a recap of what we learned today: the origins, impacts, and possible solutions to
dysgeusia.
B. Thesis
Because it’s a rapidly frequent post COVID effect, the condition of dysgeusia deserves a
closer
look.
C. Leave us with something to think about and/or tie into attention gainer
With more research done, people like Chanay Knight can finally experience the world
again with all five valuable senses.

Informative Speaking Guidelines
Objective: With this assignment I hope to have you learn the fundamentals of good
organization and topic choice and then apply these fundamentals to a public speech.
Note that there are three submissions for this speech: 1. Your speech topic, 2. A
copy of your entire speech written out; 3 the link for your video. These are due on
different days.
1. Look for an interesting topic. The topic must be important to the audience, but
first and foremost it must be interesting to you. If you do not truly like the
topic, your attitude will come across in your speech. You may do any topic as
long as there is proper research on it, but focused enough for the time
constraints. If you cannot find source material for your topic, then do not do
that topic!
2. Do not persuade. You are merely telling us information, not passing judgment,
telling us if your topic is good or bad, advocating, or asking us to do
something. For example, if you are telling us to wear sunscreen, that is
persuasion. Save it for the next assignment.
3. The speech must be between 5 to 7 minutes. Speeches longer or shorter will
lose 5 points for each thirty seconds Be careful: in informative speeches,
people tend to make them too long. Time your speech.
4. You must follow the Aristotelian Outline . Your speech will lose points if you
make up your own organizational structure. YOU MUST LABEL THE
BULLET POINTS OF ARISTOTELIAN OUTLINE IN YOUR WRITTEN
SPEECH (as in the examples provided), or it is an automatic 2 grade
deduction.
5. You must have at least six (6) sources in your speech. Sources are where
you get your information. These can be magazines, academic journals, or
newspapers. All the information in the speech must be from a source. You
will saying your sources out loud during your speech. You will lose 5
points for each source less than 6 not in the body of your speech. Read this
page to learn how to appropriately orally cite your source.
6. You must turn in a full copy of your speech with all of your sources in bold and
a Works Cited (MLA) or Reference Page (APA). Your speech must look like
the sample speech I have provided. Here again are links to an excellent
sample speech and how to cite your sources orally.
7. You must have a works cited page in MLA format. Automatic D if there is no
works cited page, Automatic C if the works cited page is not in MLA
format.
8. You will be graded on content and delivery. Assuming you have followed all
the requirements of the assignment, you will earn a C if you just stand up and
read the speech. Practice it! This is Public Speaking, not Public Reading. You
will lose more points if you do not hand in what is expected or fail to meet the
time and source requirements of the assignment.
8. It is preferred that you have an audience of at least five people. But due to
social distancing, you are excused from this requirement. Whatever audience
you have, please show them at the beginning of your speech.
9. Record the speech and upload it to youtube. (Instructions in first module)
10. For the assignment you are to provide the youtube link and upload a
document with your full speech and Work Cited or Reference page. These
will be done separately.
11. The speech must have a speech aid. The next page will explain what that
means. Automatic two grade deduction if there is no speech aid.
12. Remember to follow Recording Guidelines to avoid point deductions.
