My sense of smell and taste were fine until about 8-10 years ago.
I used ZiCam for a cold and within days both senses were greatly diminished ... and have never really recovered.

Did you see a medical professional at the time? In some cases, sudden loss of sensation can be reversed with timely use of corticosteroids.

You might check out Semax and Ñ5I-189. Do your research.

That's why they stopped selling the original Zicam. Lots of people reported that.

Same here. Got the flu spray one year and that was that. Can’t even smell my own f@rt$ anymore. Sadly, I miss them...

I used that stuff about 20 years ago. It made EVERYTHING taste like cardboard, or worse. I never had an acute sense of smell, so I don’t know if the damage was permanent.

What I notice about people with a good sense of smell is that they are perpetually complaining about bad smells. It’s always a gas leak (imaginary), or a skunk, or weeds, or other people (natural smell or perfume), or truck exhaust, etc., etc.

Yikes! I’ll be sure to avoid that.
