Anosmia... A Sign of Weakness

Just kidding! Seriously, though.... that would be so disappointing if ZiCam caused you to lose your sense of smell and taste. Luckily, the oral version is about as harmful as one of the other causes of anosmia: The Common Cold. That's right. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. ZiCam makes the cold last for less time and might cause anosmia. The common cold could last longer and also might cause anosmia. My suggestion? Test your sense of smell every 5 minutes while you have a cold. Sniff gross stuff to see if you're still Anosmia-free. Wait. You can't smell when you have a cold anyway.... How would you ever know?
I looked up a bunch on this condition to find out more (why else would I look it up... do find out less?) Anyhoo, this site talks about it a bit and this site talks about zinc injection in general. I think the lesson from what I read is that it's only nasal ZiCam that might cause Anosmia and if you've ever smoked a cigarette or smelled some diesel fumes and thought "mmmm.. diesel" you've probably done more damage to your olfactories (or the "olfies" as I like to call them) than a few spritzes from my favorite cold remedy... ZiCam.
