Can sense of taste and smell be restored?
It depends how you lost your sense of taste and smell. Some people are born with poor taste and smell. Allergies, cold or a virus can be a problem, but once it's cleared up then you're smell and taste should return. Head injuries that involve that part of brain are permanent. Some medications can cause this. People going through Chemo or radiation can have poor taste and smell and SOME elderly will experience a loss of taste and smell (thus poor eating habits can occur or no desire to eat.)
Why can't you taste without a sense of smell?
The senses of smell and taste are closely interrelated, and one definitely does affect the other to some extent.Although they are extremely closely related you will not loose your sense of taste if you lose your sense of smell it will just be extremely mild. You dont reallz lose your sense of taste physiologically instead psychologically you would find food less tast, not because your sense of taste is affected but because 80% of what we consider to be tasty food comes from how they smell.(1) On April 29, 2008 at 3:07 am User:Patty_Robb[0] said:I have lost my sense of smell since about ten years ago. It has gotten progressively worse. At first I would have phantom smells or if someone suggested a smell I would smell it for hours. I now do not even have a memory of smells and have lost my sense of taste as well.
