This might sound peculiar, but one of my great pleasures is taking a morning walk and smelling the air. The trees, the tarmac, some woodsmoke drifitng from neaby, even traffic exhaust.
However, after my daily coffee, my sense of smell has basically gone. I can smell very pungent things, obviously, but I can no longer "smell the air".
My assumption is that this is basically coffee...fumes...getting on my olfactory membrane and covering up other smells.
But I'm curious if anyone knows any more about this? Could it be something more...biological? An allergic reaction?
