Parosmia Awareness

can help improve the quality of life

for those who are living with parosmia

​

• Health - parosmia can lead to many health issues if the person can not eat a balanced diet

• Safety - a natural gas leak, spoiled/rotten food, or something burning can not be detected by someone who has parosmia

• Social interactions - work, school, restaurants, shopping, other people's houses... are difficult places for people with parosmia to visit leading to isolation and depression

• Support - from medical professionals, the general public and the smell dysfunction community can help the mental well being of someone with parosmia

• Professional knowledge - to provide the medical community with information and resources to help their  patients and not just dismiss their patients without a follow-up & recovery plan

• Research - to help scientists/researchers better understand how & why parosmia happens and to develop diagnostic tools and treatments for a successful recovery

• Public education - to help the general public understand that parosmia is a real medical condition

• Acknowledgment - to recognize parosmia as an invisible disability. It is the loss of a sense which is just as important as our other senses

• New product development - to promote the creation of new food, personal care products and home cleaning products that could help make living with parosmia more tolerable
