That's crazy and I admittedly didn't know that's possible. Sorry to hear that. :( I have an issue where I have these crazy, unusual "allergic" reactions (doctors I've gone to actually say it's "hypersensitivity" rather than a normal "allergy"), and one of the weird "symptoms" is that if I'm out and about while reacting to something I ate, my sense of smell gets severely heightened. I'll smell food cooking at restaurants and feel more disgusted than not, even for stuff I'd generally enjoy all the time. Pretty crazy how human biology works.

> That's crazy and I admittedly didn't know that's possible. Sorry to hear that. :( Eh, it's okay, but thank you. :) If you have to lose a sense smell is the one. It's a genetic abnormality that you'll find in some Appalachian families so I'm not even particularly unusual among my kin. > I have an issue where I have these crazy, unusual "allergic" reactions (doctors I've gone to actually say it's "hypersensitivity" rather than a normal "allergy"), and one of the weird "symptoms" is that if I'm out and about while reacting to something I ate, my sense of smell gets severely heightened.

Wow, now that's wild and I'm sorry to hear it. I'd say being disgusted by stuff you normally enjoy is a rougher burden than just being short a sense!
