As a person with anosmia, I get a lot of strange questions. But the above question, “Has anyone smelled your Tylenol lately?” has got to be one of the strangest questions I’ve gotten, especially considering a coworker of mine asked it as I was leaving the office the other day.

But, it is a good (and very thoughtful question) to ask an anosmic in light of the recent drug recall where the only noticeable sign that anything could be wrong with an over-the-counter drug is its smell, apparently (see embedded YouTube video).

So, my fellow anosmics, be sure to have an Olfie smell all your drugs for you, especially your Tylenol, Motrin, and Benadryl.
