Do you know why we always smell bad smell even though aromatic around us?

It turns out that the cause of this strange phenomenon comes from our own nose.

Have you ever felt yourself smelling an extremely unpleasant smell, like a burning smell or rancid milk, but looking around, everything is very clean, without any smell?

If yes, you must be experiencing the phenomenon of excessive phantom odorper happening quite now.

Women often encounter this phenomenon more than men.

A study by the American Institute of Nutrition and Health (NHAES) with about 7,300 volunteers has been carried out since 2011 - 2014. Research has raised a survey question: "Have you ever had a sense of smell?" something smells bad, but is there anything around? "

As a result, the "yes" respondents are quite large. Among these people, women and people over 40 account for an overwhelming number.

Kathleen Bainbridge - an epidemiologist from the American Institute of Nutrition and Health said."The stench of odor may be related to the excessive activity of the olfactory cells . This makes the signal transmitted to our brain somewhat misleading."

According to Bainbrigde, some hypotheses about the cause were given. Noticeably, head injury, dry mouth or a low socio-economic class .

This phenomenon involves excessive activity of olfactory cells.

In terms of economic reasons, Bainbrigde particularly argues that tight finance makes people who are too sensitive to perceive flavors not in good health. This leads to problems related to the sense of smell later without knowing.

"We need to understand this pathological situation first. From here, finding new causes and prevention is the next step to treat patients" - Bainbrigde added.

It will take some time for us to get an official answer on this issue. However, if you suffer from such an unpleasant situation, don't hesitate to make an appointment with your doctor. Because they know, they will have a way to help you temporarily overcome this unhappy experience.
