Synesthesia is a comparatively rare phenomena or condition that is reported to occur in 1 in every 500 to 25,000 people. Synesthesia facts suggest that this condition is found more in females as compared to males. The male is to female ratio is said to be at 5:1. The word synesthesia has its roots in Greek literature and means dual or joined senses. Synesthesia facts can tell you that synesthetes may have new approaches to sounds and colors than a normal human being. They may associate color with music and smell with images. There are many proved facts and examples of synesthesia occurrences and scientists are at present engaged to find out more about the condition and how it can be used to solve many mysteries.

Synesthesia can be temporarily lost during stressful situations such as the death of a loved one. Also, sometimes head trauma can cause one to lose synesthesia. It really just depends on your situation. Chances are it'll come back, though.
