Sense Of Smell Day 2024 is on Friday, April 26, 2024: Sense of Smell?

Friday, April 26, 2024 is Sense Of Smell Day 2024. Glass Petal Smoke: National Sense of Smell Day: A Time to Reflect Sense of Smell Day.

Each day to construct understanding of the function our noses play in daily existence, Sense Of Smell Day is well known throughout educational institutes accross America, marketing researching how smell interacts along with other senses (taste particularly), and just how the olfaction works.

My sense of smell increased dramatically in the early stages of pregnancy...but probably around 3-4 weeks is when I noticed it.

And I didn't smell things that weren't there....but normal things that I would LOVE to smell (like steak cooking, or fresh bread) that would make me have to rush to the bathroom. It would seriously turn my stomach.

Even now....being in the 2nd trimester...I have to decide dinner on what appeals to me that day...if I try to plan ahead and it doesn't appeal to me that day...well it won't stay down no matter what.

BUT that doesn't mean that you're pregnant either. I would wait until you are close to your period and take a test. (like no more than 5 days before).

And keep looking for the lost saurkraut....it may be there hiding somewhere.

Good luck and I hope you get the answer you are looking for.

I lost my sense of smell from a head injury due to a rare seizure?

A friend of mine lost her sense of smell also after a horse riding accident. She cracked her skull and never got her sense of smell back. She also mentioned that everything smells metallic. The doctor told her it's a normal side effect. It's been 17 years since the accident and to this day, she still smell metallic smells.

She also lost her taste. The only thing she can taste is vinegar so she eats alot of stuff with ketchup on it. Pretty gross to me, but she likes the fact she can actually taste something.

About Sense of Smell?

Title would be: "The nose that says it all" => Catchy eh?

Introduction: The average human being is able to recognize approximately 10,000 different odors.

Our sense of smell is so powerful that when you smell skunk, you are smelling 0.000,000,000,000,071 of an ounce of scent. Dogs have about 200 million olfactory receptors. That is about 20 times the number of receptors that humans have.

Fast Fun Facts about the Sense of Smell:

1) Your sense of smell is least acute in the morning; our ability to perceive odors increases as the day wears on

2) The sense of smell plays a vital role in our sense of well-being and quality of life.

3) No two people smell the same odor the same way. In other words, a rose may smell sweeter to some people than to others

4) People recall smells with a 65% accuracy after a year, while the visual recall of photos sinks to about 50% after only three months.

5) Everyone has his or her own unique odor-identity or "smell fingerprint"

How it works:

Smell and its relationship with memory and taste:

Every taste receptor is connected to a sensory neuron (like the chemoreceptors in the nose) that responds back to the brain when it is stimulated with a molecule' however the actual sensation of taste resides in the brain.

Just like the path of smell sensations, the path of response to taste receptions is similar and can possibly explain why taste and smell are so closely related.

Because "what we often call taste is in fact flavor". Flavor is a combination of taste, smell, texture (touch sensation) and pther physical features (e.g. temperature). When we eat, the reception that our taste buds get also react to the odors released by the food and therefore we are able to identify what it is we are actually eating.

I hope you get an A with your report! Am routing for you!
