Those of you who have been around for a year or more may remember i had an incident with Zicam where i lost my sense of taste and smell for almost 4 months. Losing your sense of smell for a hybridizer (or anybody) is a really issue. Well it seems the government has finally recognized that this is a serious health issue and has issued a warning against the use of Zicam. I was one of the lucky ones. I have read articles where people never regained their sense of smell. For those of you not familiar with Zicam it's a zinc based nasal spray that is supposed to lessen the incidence of a cold. It's an over the counter homeopathic medicine and is readily advertised in both magazines and on television.
I tried it once and it burned the olfactory glands in my nose and I was unable to smell or taste for 4 months. Please heed this new government warning people.
