Fizzing sensation
In some cases, patients with COVID-19 have reported experiencing a “fizzing” sensation on their skin—also described on Twitter as a “buzzing electric feeling,” and by a woman in Illinois as feeling like her skin “was covered in IcyHot.”
Waleed Javaid, MD, director of infection prevention and control at Mount Sinai Downtown explained that “our immune cells get activated so a lot of chemicals get released throughout our body and that can present or feel like there’s some fizzing.”
