Reduce Risks Associated With The Loss Of Sense Of Smell

An individual who experiences anosmia will have to reduce risks associated with the loss of sense of smell in order to properly manage their disease. Anosmia can cause an individual affected by Kallmann syndrome to be unable to identify spoiled food, which may lead to subsequent food poisoning. An individual who does not have a good sense of smell is at a greater risk of harm by smoke inhalation and fires due to their reduced ability to detect the smell of something burning. A Kallmann syndrome patient can also have difficulty detecting chemical smells and other dangerous odors, which can cause lung toxicity and damage. This danger can be mediated by ensuring there are enough gas and smoke detectors in working condition in the patient's home. These detectors include propane detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gasoline detectors, smoke detectors, and natural gas detectors. Labeling foods and chemicals can help them make sure patients do not consume spoiled food, use too much of a strong chemical, or mix dangerous chemicals.
