Our olfactory glands (used for smelling) is located right above our nose, so when you have congestion, it is harder for the glands to sense the smell of foods and things. Taste sensation and smell sensation are very much integrated, so when you loose your ability to smell, your ability to taste is also reduced, making things taste like cardboard when you do have a cold.

It can apply to a variety of skills.  The name alone 'extra' sensory, shows that it applies to ANY sensation or perception which doesn't fall under the normal 5 (being sight, hearing, touch, taste or smell).  Examples of ESP skills include: mind reading, predicting the future, 'sensing' death or other dangers, astral projection, telepathy, the ability to 'see' other places (like a psychic detective) and the ability to speak with the dead.

In addition to the familiar five senses...scientists know of a sixth sense called proprioception. It's the sense of where your body is in space that allows you to touch your nose even with your eyes closed. Proprioception (PRO-pree-oh-ception) also informs balance and how to put one foot in front of the other to walk without looking at your fee

Do you loose vision, the ability to talk, the ability to smell, feel, taste, or hear?  Do you loose control of any of your body parts, such as legs, arms, neck, waiste, ect?\n\nIf you answered yes to any of these, i would be concerned.  As of right now, though, if you answered no, i wouldn't be too concerned.  I would, hwoever, go in for a complete physical.

Loss of sense of smell is called "anosmia", so a person with this condition would be "anosmic".\n\nLoss of sense of taste is called "ageusia", so a person with this condition would be "ageusic".\n\nBecause the sense of taste requires the sense of smell, someone with anosmia usually has ageusia, too.

Mute, because I would miss being able to see my beautiful wife and watching her grow old with me.  i would miss seeing my son as he grows into a man.  I would never be able to see my grandchildren.  i would miss seeing the leaves in the fall, snow on trees, going birding, etc\n    I also feel that i would be much more of a burden on people if I was blind rather than mute.  I can always tell people I love them by writing them letter, signing to them, with my actions, hugs, and many other ways.\n   Just my thoughts. Peace and love

What are smell and taste disorders?\n\nTesting may demonstrate a reduced ability to detect odors (hyposmia) or to taste substances (hypogeusia). Some people can detect no odors (ansomia) or no tastes (ageusia). In other disorders of the chemical senses, the system may distort an odor or taste (for example, making a normally pleasant smelling substance smell foul).

A sinus infection is one possible cause.  (A very large part of the sense of taste relies on the sense of smell).  Zinc or B-12 deficiencies can also cause loss of sense of taste.  Many other possible causes are given in the link below.\n\nThe condition is known as dysgeusia.

in a way, it can be thought of as a sense, like touch, smell, taste, etc.  It is a sense like sight, and we even say "insight."  We say we "grasp" what one is saying, to mean we know what they are saying.  That is, we have a sense of what they are saying.\n\nSo I think it is in some ways a sense.\n\nBut it is more than that, because it is formed as a result of various senses.  The 5 physical senses, plus mind or consciousness come together to form knowledge.\n\nSo I think it is its own category.  I could be wrong.

In the 1920s, at a time when conventional physiology only recognized five or six senses, Rudolf Steiner proposed that there were far more. He defined twelve senses; of these twelve, the first nine are now well-recognized: the equilibrioceptive (balance), proprioceptive (movement), nociceptive (sense of pain and wellness), tactile (touch), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), thermoceptive (warmth), visual and auditory senses. Steiner proposed three more senses as well: the sense of phoneme or language, the sense of thought and the sense of ego (the ability to recognize an ego outside of our own); he termed these three 'higher senses' that depended upon the healthy development of the foundational senses of balance, movement, pain/wellness and touch. Steiner's last three senses have not been confirmed by scientific research; in particular, sensory organs for them would have to be found.

Thats strange. My ex-wife had a bad case of food poisoning but I don't recall her complaining about lack of taste senses. Hopefully you will get your sense back. How can a person eat without tasting their food? Thats terrible.

The four things we can taste (sweet, sour, salty, and bitter) don't change. However, our sensitivity to each of the four can change as we age and our sensitivity to smells (which is an important component of taste) can also change. Finally, our preferences can change so that things we once found "tasty" no longer appeal to us and vice-versa.

There really is no order. The fetus develops the sense of taste and sound first, but becomes sensitive to light, taste, sound, and smell in the 27th week of development. By week 30 all of the five senses are functional.
