Anosmia Awareness Day

Anosmia Awareness Day on February 27th brings attention to a condition that causes a loss of smell. Of all our senses, smell perhaps takes precedence over others more than any other.

Anosmia has many causes. Upper respiratory or sinus/nasal infections or diseases are the most common reasons. We've all had a cold or allergy that has temporarily stopped us from smelling.

However, some illnesses, such as diabetes, can cause permanent or long-term loss of the sense. Many anosmics don't get to enjoy the taste of foods, the scent of an infant, or even use their sense of smell as an early warning system for danger.

Memories and emotions are aided by our olfactory sense. When we lose this sense, the effect is fantastic. Anosmia Awareness Day gives the opportunity to learn more about the disease and where to go for assistance..
