A friend of mine just emailed me the following YouTube video titled “Smelling Keeps You Happy”…

- Taste Receptors in Lungs?
- < >
I hear about a lot of strange things here at NeverSmell, but this one is just plain cool. Scientists recently discovered taste buds on lungs!
Any anosmic has probably had to explain to variety of people (usually olfies) at some point why they can taste but not smell. Well here’s some new information that’ll be equally fun to share at parties or around the office cooler:

- Garlic and Breast Milk

The other day I fixed one of my favorite (and therefore fattening) pasta dishes: garlic alfredo chicken.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here mainly due to two major life changes: (1) we had a baby, and (2) we bought a house.
And in that time frame I’ve encountered many a topic to blog about here at NeverSmell…all relating to smells or not smelling (and with a newborn…you can imagine!). Today’s topic will hopefully begin a series of topics around how an anosmic discovers when something goes bad (since we can’t smell when something goes bad), a blog series inspired by cleaning out my fridge before moving to a new house.
And so…

About me
Heather Ackmann was born without a sense of smell (congenital anosmia) and constantly finds herself explaining all kinds of strange things to strangers, like eating habits, whether she uses deodorant, and whether she can "smell this." She built this website for the curious who are afraid to ask, and for the afflicted who love to share. You can read more about me here
