Hi, I can imagine worse things, but, this is pretty serious and I thought you all would understand and maybe have some insight on what could cause this.
One of my co-workers has lost some of his sense of smell and taste recently. He says milk tastes normal. Other things don't. He says he loses taste and smell somewhere where the two meet, if that is possible. Sometimes things smell like peroxide/ammonia? in hair dye, even though it's food. Sometimes smell like cleaning solutions but not like they should smell, like food stuff.
He's generally in good health and this is just recently. He didn't use zicam, which is known to cause issues sometimes.
Anyone have any insight? Medical issues that has might cause this?
I can't imagine how tough it would be to not even be hungry because food doesn't taste and smell good to me...he tells me he's losing weight due to it now too.
TIA ~Bliss
