  • Myalgia

    About 20% present with nonspecific symptoms that resemble dengue fever, including fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, and maculopapular rash. Rare infections cause the Guillain-Barre syndrome. [neuropathology-web.org]

  • Suggestibility

    Family analysis with the complete ascertainment method under assumption of the same condition in the two families suggested that the disease is not inconsistent with an autosomal dominant mode with incomplete penetrance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    More and more research suggests that human beings subtly communicate with one another through pheromones, chemicals naturally secreted by the body that can be picked up through our noses. [lehmiller.com]

    Statistics Studies suggest that approximately 1 in 10,000 people are affected by congenital anosmia. [familydiagnosis.com]

    On the other hand, the researchers think the effect of a lack of smell on women makes sense in light of past research suggesting that smell is more important for their relationship security, than it is for men. [digest.bps.org.uk]

Because anosmia has many causes, we need multiple research and treatment approaches and will continue to initiate additional research projects as funding becomes available. [monell.org]

In cases such as this (which are extremely rare), it is thought that there are genetic or developmental errors that prevent the olfactory system from forming properly. [oebsciencecafe.org]
