What happens during the disease - parosmia
Parosmia is a disorder of olfaction in which odors are perceived abnormally, often as unpleasant or foul. it is caused by damage or dysfunction of the olfactory nerve or central olfactory regions of the brain, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as head trauma, viral infections, environmental toxins, and certain medications. this damage disrupts the neural pathways involved in olfaction, resulting in an inability to correctly identify smells, or an altered perception of the smell.
