Description

Joe Graedon, M.S., and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., write People's Pharmacy.

Q. I lost a lot of my sense of smell after using Zicam zinc gel for a cold many years ago. It seemed to work great, but then I realized my ability to smell had become dampened. I used to smell a dry bath towel to see if it needed washing but became unable to smell any but strong scents. Decades later, I find food much less appealing and worry about things like gas leaks. I would have a hard time detecting one.
