Anosmia

In the book, they mentioned Karl Wuensch, a man that can't smell because of anosmia.  Because I was interested in the topic, I was talking about it with a group of guys that I always play hockey with. As it turns out, one of the guys told me that he has anosmia, we just always assumed he always had a stuffy nose and a love of hot foods.  I told him some of the stuff it said and he completely confirmed it. Its awesome to have a first hand conversation with someone that has anosmia because it seems to be pretty unheard of by most people. I don't know if I could deal without any form of smell. I cook all the time and that definitely requires your nose!
