Loss of Taste and Smell
Loss of taste and smell can be a very serious condition and one that will impact the quality of your life significantly. Our senses of taste and smell are closely linked and if you lose one, you will often lose the other as well.
As well as losing enjoyment, the effects of loss of taste and smell can be life-threatening, as you will be unable to smell a gas leak or food that may be going off.
What causes loss of taste and smell?
The most common causes of the loss of taste and smell are infections or problems in the mouth. However, loss of taste and smell can also be caused by a blow to the head, which may damage nerves, or by being in contact with certain chemicals or toxic fumes.
