Can You NOT Smell?
Hey Everyone,
Many of you know that I can no longer smell, or taste. I would like to see who else is not able to smell. For those who do not know, I lost my ability back in 2001 due to having a major vehicle accident.
Not being able to smell makes detailing, for me anyways, a lil more challenging. If I get a client that advises me there vehicle has a bad odor, I advise them right then and there that I can't smell. I use my friends at a body shop to smell some of my clients’ vehicles after I've detailed them to make sure there are no odors inside it. I also have an odor remover (fogger) machine that I use once in a while if the people use to smoke inside the vehicle.
Just curios.

My brother in-law is the same way. He was hit by a car when he was younger. He can, for the most part taste things.

Re: Can You NOT Smell?
I lost my sense of smell about 25 yrs ago due to sinus problems. I cant even smell a skunk ( or anything else) if you know what I mean. I have SOME taste but not much. It sucks a lot. I wish I could smell fresh cut grass, popcorn, chinese food or anything else good. I kinda smell fresh air all the time which was good for a while but now I'd like to smell something different. So I know what you're going through. I'll take your word that some of my waxes have a nice scent.
I dont eat healty all the time, There's still somethings I can remember what they taste like. As long as I have my mind, I'll still eat Reese's peanut butter cups!

Living down here in the Rio Grande Valley? Right....... Meals down here are more than 85% nasty Mexican food. I wish I could eat healthier foods, but, I can't get myself away from feeling depressed all the time. I detail vehicles to stay positive.

LOL.... I use to work for Allied Waste National Accounts for 9 years. If I was brd, being on vacation, I could go to one of our divisions in the US and ride on a commercial Roll-Off truck. When we would arrive at a landfill, everyone would say it smelled nasty. I would turn around and tell them, "Well, it smells wonderful to me". Everyone would turn around and look at me shocked. I then have to explan to them that I can't smell. toooo funny lol
As for taste, You and I can't taste BUT, I can sense some of the meals. I know when it's hot or cold. sweet or sour and then some. If it was a wonderful steak, from the past, I will not be able to taste it. Just sense it knowing what it was like. Does that make sense?

Re: Can You NOT Smell?
I have very limited smell has to be very strong for me to smell. I had a brain tumor back in 2005. Had to have surgery and radiation treatments since then I can't hardly smell or taste much.
