A world without smells

Imagine what it would be like to live in a world where smells do not exist.

How does food taste without smells and how do you avoid eating bad food? How do you keep yourself, your cloths and your home clean if there are no smells to tell you that things are dirty? In this book Lars Lundqvist tells you about his anosmic life, about living without a sense of smell, about living in a world where everyone around him perceives a dimension that has never existed in his world. Learn how being anosmic affects the perception of both space and time, how to spot if your child is anosmic, of being an anosmic parent and of the dangers anosmia may cause. Learn how being anosmic can cause anger, frustration and sorrow, but also comic situations and situations where being anosmic makes you a superhero. Learn about causes, cures and technical aids, and how anosmics around the world use the internet to support each other.
