Losses in smell and taste can cause big trouble
The first obvious clue might be a burnt piece of toast or a grandbaby’s dirty diaper.
You see it — and realize you should have smelled it. But you missed it, because your sense of smell that is not what it used to be. And, because the two senses are so closely related, either is your sense of taste.
It’s not just you. While declines in vision and hearing get more attention, impaired smell and taste also are common as we age. For many older people, these losses come on gradually. For others, the changes are sudden and can be downright traumatic, doctors say.
