http://www.anosmiafoundation.org/intro.shtml

Extractions: Approximately two to five million American adults suffer from disorders of taste and smell. Anosmia is to smell, as blindness is to sight, or deafness is to hearing. Anosmics cannot detect scents of any kind. Over 200 medical conditions and many medications have been associated with olfactory changes and loss. "As a child without a sense of smell, it requires a considerable amount of thought to determine that something is missing. Blind children are told they can't see, but anosmic children have to find a way to work it out for themselves." From: http://www.maxuk.net/fascin.html Are smell and taste disorders serious? Smell seems to be the sense people take most for granted. There are no galleries displaying smells like paintings, no concertos written for noses, no special menus of smells created for grand occasions; yet this is the most direct and basic of the senses.

Store Understand your MSDS with the MS-Demystifier Search ALL our MSDS info Anosmia can be temporary or permanenent and can be induced by chemical exposure, head or brain injury, illness and other factors. Although it may at first glance appear to have no major impact or even some benefit in everyday life, anosmia means doing without the little joys of life - the scent of food, fresh air, fine wine etc. Anosmia can even be fatal. How? Certain toxic chemicals have strong detectable odors at low levels. But at higher levels, these saturate your smell receptors ("olfactory fatigue ") and you can no longer smell the material. See MSDS Relevance below. An anosmic person can not smell smoke in a burning building.

Extractions: The term anosmia means lack of the sense of smell. It may also refer to a decreased sense of smell. Ageusia, a companion word, refers to a lack of taste sensation. Patients who actually have anosmia may complain wrongly of ageusia, although they retain the ability to distinguish salt, sweet, sour, and bitterhumans' only taste sensations. Description Of the five senses, smell ranks fourth in importance for humans, although it is much more pronounced in other animals. Bloodhounds, for example, can smell an odor a thousand times weaker than humans. Taste, considered the fifth sense, is mostly the smell of food in the mouth. The sense of smell originates from the first cranial nerves (the olfactory nerves), which sit at the base of the brain's frontal lobes, right behind the eyes and above the nose. Inhaled airborne chemicals stimulate these nerves. There are other aberrations of smell beside a decrease. Smells can be distorted, intensified, or hallucinated. These changes usually indicate a malfunction of the brain.

http://www.golgotha.org.uk/useful/anosmia.html

Extractions: Useful pages - index Initially, I regarded this page as something of a self-indulgence, since I doubted that the information would be of much use to anyone else. I was basically just trying to raise awareness about this condition. However, since I put it up, I have received many kind words from fellow anosmics who've found it useful, which was a pleasant surprise. Anyway, on with the important stuff... I have a condition called anosmia, which means that I don't have a sense of smell. This condition is pretty rare - in fact, most of the doctors I've been to have claimed that it doesn't exist at all, and that I'm a liar, which was rather frustrating. Actually, I found out that this was the name for it on a McDonald's "Trivial Pursuits" card from a promotion they had about ten years ago. You can verify this by looking the word up in a standard (i.e. not medical) dictionary. Here is a basic FAQ about anosmia, to save time in conversations: Q: So, you can't smell anything at all?

http://www.healthdiaries.com/congenital-anosmia.htm

Extractions: Home The Senses > Anosmia Anosmia is the lack of a sense of smell. It can be congenital, with a person living an entire life without smelling anything, or it can occur later in life after trauma or subsequent to some illnesses and disorders. People with anosmia have a serious disability because they cannot smell smoke, gas, or other dangerous substances. Unfortunately, because of a lack of awareness about anosmia in the general population and because most people who can smell take it for granted and do not realize how important a role it plays in their lives, anosmia is generally not accepted as a real disability.
