Smells are handled by the olfactory bulb, the structure in the front of the brain that sends information to the other areas of the body's central command for further processing. Odors take a direct route to the limbic system, including the amygdala and the hippocampus, the regions related to emotion and memory.

The complete loss of smell is called anosmia (an-ohz-me-uh). Without your sense of smell, food tastes different, you can't smell the scent of a flower, and you could find yourself in a dangerous situation, unknowingly. For example, without the ability to detect odors, you wouldn't smell a gas leak, smoke from a fire, or sour milk.

Anosmia is the partial or complete loss of the sense of smell. This loss may be temporary or permanent. Common conditions that irritate the nose’s lining, such as allergies or a cold, can lead to temporary anosmia.

In addition, many viruses cause temporary loss of smell by triggering upper respiratory issues such as stuffy nose. Some covid-19 patients, however, experience anosmia without any nasal obstruction.

Parosmia can be treated in some, but not all, cases. If parosmia is caused by environmental factors, medication, cancer treatment, or smoking, your sense of smell may return to normal once those triggers are removed.

Anyone who’s recently lost their sense of smell should keep an eye out for other symptoms such as fever or persistent cough.
If other covid-19 symptoms are present, it’s best to seek medical help.
