What happened to your sense of smell when you have cold?
When you have a cold, your sense of smell can be reduced or lost due to congestion in the nasal passages, which hinders the ability of odor molecules to reach the odor receptors in the nose.

Is there a chance of regaining smell and taste after abusing cocaine?
Once the nasal mucosa has been damaged by cocaine, it is unlikely to return. There may be a small amount of improvement, but the vast majority of your sense of smell will stay lost. Cocaine doesn't affect taste directly, in that it doesn't affect the tongue very much, but since between 80-90% of our sense of taste is really due to our sense of smell, the perception of taste is also often reduced. And again, since the nasal mucosa is unlikely to grow back to any appreciable degree, the sense of taste is also reduced greatly, and likely to remain damaged.

When is your sense of smell the weakest?
A woman's sense of smell is much stronger than a man's. Her sense of smell is also more sensitive in the first half of the menstrual cycle and reaches its peak when she is most fertile and sexually responsive. Scent plays a critical role in our sexual function. Our sense of smell is weakest in the morning, and the ability to perceive odors increases throughout the day. Approximately 80% of what we taste is actually attributed to our sense of smell. Our sense of taste is limited to five distinct sensations: salty, sweet, bitter, sour and savory. All the flavors we taste are actually determined by our sense of smell. That's the reason why our food tastes bland during a cold for example. Our sense of smell and taste naturally declines as we age. Our sense of smell peaks when we are in our late teens and then begins a gradual decline. People who have an impaired ability to smell, and therefore taste, tend to follow diets that are less healthy. Prolonged exposure to foul smells can impair your ability to smell. If you are exposed to noxious odors (such as cleaning solutions or petroleum products) on a prolonged basis, wear a mask over your nose and mouth to filter out the smell.

How are the senses of taste and smell alike?
Taste and smell are both sensory experiences that contribute to our perception of flavor.

Additionally, taste and smell are closely linked, as much of what we perceive as taste actually comes from our sense of smell.

How does holding your nose affect your taste?
Much of what you perceive as taste is actually smell, so when you have a stuffed up nose and can't smell anything you only "taste" what your taste buds are sensing.

Does sense of smell and sight affect food taste?
Most of the time, what we call taste is intrinsicially tied to smell. Traditionally taste has only 4 measurable concepts: salty, sweet, sour, bitter. Some cultures regard savoriness and piquance as major taste experiences, and taste buds can also detect fatty acids as a distinct flavor.Taste also determines texture and temperature.Smell is capable of a much wider variance because it detects actual chemical molecules released into the air, and further refines them (as does taste) by their intensity (or molecular concentration).Smell and TasteThe ability to distinguish various foods relies predominantly on the sense of smell. This explains why foods seem to have little taste for a person who is suffering from a head cold. The taste and smell of appetizing foods prepare the digestive tract for digestion by stimulating the flow of saliva in the mouth and gastric juice in the stomach. Our chemorecptors used for both taste and smell adapt quickly to any stimulus. One reason Americans may be becoming more obese as a population is that we serve too much food in one course. It is usually the case that we actually stop tasting our food after the 3rd or 4th bite, but we don't realize it because we are still smelling it. The nasal cavity and oral cavity are closely connected, separated only by the palate. So it makes sense that the two senses go hand in hand.An ExperimentI recently did a science experiment for the school science fair. My results said that what you smell does affect what you taste. I had people eat starburst candy while smelling vanilla extract. The majority of the people said that the smell of the vanilla made the starburst taste odd. Others couldn't even taste while they were smelling the vanilla.
