Damage to the olfactory nerves can result in loss of the sense of smell, a condition known as anosmia. This can affect the ability to taste food properly and also impact one's ability to detect potential dangers, like fire or gas leaks, through smell. In some cases, the sense of smell may return as the nerves heal, but it can also be permanent.
