Actually, I lost my sense of smell at the age of 17 due to nasal surgery to remove polyps, tumorlike growths in the nasal passages, and I haven't been able to smell since then. However, at that same age, I also discovered that hot sauce will blow a cold or flu right out of my system. Since those illnesses are caused by viruses, I guess that you could say that I came up with my own kind of vaccine.
I had a friend that was born with no sense of smell. All he could sense was a burning sensation.
