10 Hay Fever Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Loss of Smell
The sense of smell provides so much information about the environment. It can help people detect things they are looking for, find things that should not be there, and determine whether or not food is safe to eat. In short, life would be quite different without the sense of smell.
Many people with hay fever lose their ability to smell during an allergy attack. Odors can become undetectable even up close. For example, it may be all but impossible to smell smoke during a fire. Thankfully, the sense of smell will return once the hay fever has passed.
