Smell loss is endangering lives but doctors do not take it seriously, researchers have found.
A new study from the University of East Anglia has discovered that people with anosmia suffer a huge range of emotional and physical implications.
Many sink into deep depressions because they can no longer enjoy freshly cut grass, baked bread, childhood memories, or the scent of loved ones.
For others the condition could prove deadly, because they are unable to pick up the odour of gas, smoke or rotten food.
Researchers surveyed 71 anonymous people suffering from chronic smell loss to find out about their experiences. One woman claimed the condition had broken up her marriage.
“I am sure there was an impact on sex, and being close to my husband,” she said. “Although our marriage was already in difficulty, I believe anosmia helped end it.”
Another mother wrote, “The thought of not smelling my children again is too distressing to accept.”
And one sufferer described the experience as like bereavement, saying she felt she was ‘living in a world behind glass.’
The researchers hope that their findings will encourage doctors to take smell problems more seriously, offering more support to patients.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been accused of putting his own interest before the health of Marcus Rashford after the Manchester United striker was ruled out with a double stress fracture in his back.
Rashford is facing up to three months on the sidelines although there are fears he could be out for longer in a huge blow to United’s season. Gareth Southgate also has concerns ahead of the Euros with England this summer.
United were aware Rashford had been struggling with his back to the point where he has been using a Melmak fracture healing device before games and at home.
But Solskjaer has played the England striker more than any other player at United this season and admitted his decision to play him in the FA Cup against Wolves last week had “backfired” after a challenge from Matt Doherty forced his leading goalscorer’s substitution just 16 minutes after coming on.
Solskjaer denied after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool that Rashford had gone into the Wolves match with a single stress fracture to his back.

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti says his players must eradicate their ‘shyness’ as he begins building a more courageous style of football at Goodison Park.
The Italian will spend the remainder of the season trying to impose his ideas on a squad he feels too often takes the safe option in their passing. He is demanding a more direct, forward-thinking attitude from his line-up after being particularly unhappy with the first-half display in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at West Ham.
He says his senior players like Fabian Delph and Theo Walcott must set the example.
“If you want to play football at a certain level you have to be brave. You cannot be shy,” said Ancelotti.
“You have to take responsibility and the players with more quality have to take responsibility. Here in general we have a young squad but players with a strong personality and players who are experienced like Delph and Walcott who can help the young to show more bravery and have more courage.

Lawyers acting for Ms Weng, the “Princess of Huawei” who has been under house arrest in Vancouver for more than a year, sought to convince a judge that charges laid against her by the US Justice Department would not stand up in Canada.
In deciding whether to surrender Ms Meng to the US, Judge Heather Holmes must decide whether the charges would constitute a crime if it occurred in Canada, under a principle called “double criminality” on which week’s hearing hangs.
The US accuses Ms Meng of breaking its sanctions against Iran and lying to HSBC bank in order to secure a loan by obscuring the nature of an "unofficial subsidiary" operating in Tehran. Canada does not restrict trade with Iran, but the prosecution argues that Ms Meng’s lie amounts to fraud.
Ms Meng, the daughter of Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei and its chief financial officer, has become a symbol of the increasingly fractured relationship between the US and China, dragging a previously neutral Canada into the mix.

The Western troop presence in Iraq is to be scaled down under a plan to defuse regional tensions over America's killing of Iranian general Qassim Soleimani.
Rather than bowing to Iranian demands for a pull-out of all coalition forces, diplomats are working towards a compromise deal whereby the foreign troop presence will simply be reduced.
They hope that will satisfy demands from pro-Iranian factions in Iraq's parliament, which voted two weeks ago for foreign troops to leave after Mr Soleimani's death in a US drone strike on January 3.

A racism charge against Mark Sampson, the former manager of the England’s women team, has been dismissed after the allegations were found “unproven” at an FA hearing.
Sampson was charged by the FA in November after a complaint was made by the former Stevenage manager Dino Maamria and coach Ali Uzunhasanoglu who claimed he advised against signing a Nigerian centre back because “you can’t trust them.”
The allegations were made after Sampson, who had been first team coach under Maamria, was appointed caretaker manager following his dismissal back in September. Sampson has vigorously denied the allegations.
They also came after Sampson was forced to contact police after threats were made to him in the aftermath of him taking the manager’s role.
The charge was dismissed after Sampson had requested a personal hearing, with the FA commission deciding the evidence presented against him by Maamira and Uzunhasanoglu was unreliable.
“I am pleased the findings concur with our own internal investigation," said Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace.
Sampson has told Telegraph Sport that he had always denied making the comments and “hoped to be able to move on” with his life as he tries avoid relegation with Stevenage where he is now a coach.

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury 2: What date is the fight, what TV channel is it on and what is our prediction?

What are they saying ?
`` I tell people all the time my intellect is very high in the ring so I know exactly what I 'm doing , '' Wilder , 34 , told Sky Sports .
`` I had to calculate Ortiz perfectly , he 's very dangerous in that ring as you can see , that 's why no other heavyweight wanted to give him the opportunity .
He 's very smart '' Once I got him I set him up and that was the shot .
I always say these guys have to be perfect for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be perfect for two seconds and each and every time I 've proved that .
`` Tyson Fury is definitely next and then after that I want a unification bout with whoever wins between ( Anthony ) Joshua and ( Andy ) Ruiz Jr. '' Right now we 're ready for Tyson Fury .
Hopefully he 's ready for me , I know his trainer 's here so I hope he got some notes down .
I 'm ready to go at any give time and any given moment and February is looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the latest news ?
Attentions will turn to Wilder v Fury 2 after this week 's fight between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr .
The winner will likely take on Wilder or Fury later in 2020 .
Details of Wilder and Fury 's rematch could be announced in the days to come .
What is our prediction ?
Somewhat hypothetical with the fight yet to be announced , but Fury will feel he was unfortunate not to get the judges ' verdict 12 months ago and will be out to win this @ @ @

The world knew that Tyson Fury was special, but the performance to brutally dominate Deontay Wilder with a blend of boxing nous combined with power and poise raises the 31-year-old pugilist of the traveller race to the level of extraordinary.
The 'Gypsy King' compelled the dangerous knockout artist Wilder to a forlorn figure, beaten up, bleeding from the ear, bullied to the level that the Alabaman's corner threw in the towel in the seventh round after an unabated beating.
It was offensively brilliant, and defensively savvy. It was so one-sided, it is doubtful whether Wilder will activate the trilogy rematch clause. It is hard to see how Wilder ever beats Fury.
Worth recalling, too, that Fury was seemingly a clear winner in the first fight 14 months ago. Fury claimed the World Boxing Council belt - the only belt he had not won from Wladimir Klitschko when he became the world No 1 five years ago - to complete the clean sweep.
Those in boxing, those who know their boxing, have always held Fury as the best boxer of the generation, and on current form, Fury would be too hard a puzzle, moreover, for Anthony Joshua, who now holds the other three world title belts. This was one of the great performances by a British boxer abroad, just like his display against Klitschko, and Lennox Lewis, the last undisputed heavyweight champion, working ringside on the television broadcast, nodded approvingly at Fury's every move.

Norway was left in political uncertainty on Monday as the Right-wing Progress Party quit the governing coalition over the decision to repatriate an Islamic State wife and her two children.
The populist party had been propping up the country’s majority government but Siv Jensen, the party leader and finance minister, on Monday gave the decision to leave the government.
The 29-year-old woman, who was born in Oslo to a Norwegian-Pakistani family, arrived in Norway on Saturday after being recovered from a Kurdish-controlled detention camp in Syria.
She had been living in Islamic State territory since 2013, where she married two Islamic State fighters and had two children.
The decision to repatriate the woman was based on humanitarian grounds that her children, a five-year-old son and three-year-old daughter, were seriously ill.
The woman, who has not been named, has since been arrested on suspicion of being a member of the Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State, while both her children have been hospitalised.

Stuart Lancaster @ @ @ @ @ that process in the 2010s with England , naming nine and eight uncapped players respectively @ @ @ @ @ charge .
Both of those overhauls look remarkably tentative compared to what France are now @ @

Jonny May's solo masterclass saved England from humiliation in Paris as one of the worst performances of the Eddie Jones era ended in a 24-17 defeat that puts a large dent in their Guinness Six Nations title ambitions.
Jones had promised France "brutal physicality" but instead it was his rattled World Cup runners-up who fell victim to a ferocious onslaught as words that had caused controversy on this side of The Channel came back to haunt him.
Les Bleus stormed 24-0 ahead when captain Charles Ollivon ran in the second of his two tries in the 55th minute and that was the cue for May to conjure a pair of devastating solo tries.
For the second he beat five defenders while plotting a diagonal line to the posts in a score made possible by his extraordinary pace.
May's brilliance provided temporary inspiration but England lacked the firepower to make further inroads into the deficit in an improved final quarter they controlled and that finished with Owen Farrell landing a penalty to claim the bonus point.
A rain-swept Stade de France noisily greeted the new era launched by their head coach Fabien Galthie and the influence of his assistant Shaun Edwards was stamped all over the defensive heroics.
England, meanwhile, will lick their wounds as they come to terms with the possibility their World Cup final rout by South Africa last autumn may have left deeper scars than initially expected.
For the first time since 1988 they were held scoreless at the interval in a Championship match and it is hard to imagine a worse start as they were breached in the sixth minute by Vincent Rattez.

Six Nations coverage is shared between BBC and ITV with this matching @ @ @ @ @ ( channel tbc ) .

If Wayne Pivac had written out a wish-list before accepting the Wales job - and you never know with agents nowadays - then almost certainly he would have picked Italy, in the Principality, under the roof, for his first Six Nations game.
As a cheeky addendum, he might well have requested the first Welsh shut-out in the Championship for 46 years and, if he was being really greedy, for one of his players - Josh Adams - to score the first Championship hat-trick in Cardiff for 51 years.
Perhaps Pivac would have been pushing his luck to request a debutant - Nick Tompkins - to display his undoubted merit from the bench and for Wales to extend their home winning run to seven games and to equal their previous mark of eight successive Six Nations wins.
And, go on then, why not ask for Dan Biggar to do a thoroughly convincing impression of Carlos Spencer with a pass between the legs and then for his side to go where Warren Gatland’s Grand Slammers failed in 2019 and notch up a Six Nations bonus point.
All of these things came to pass for Pivac here, but what excited him the most was that his squad has a few more gears to go through. “It was a pretty good performance,” Pivac said, refusing to pop any corks. “But it was messy at times and there is plenty to work on. Which is pleasing.”
In truth, Wales will need to fix the faults quickly - particular in the set-piece - before next Saturday because a dogfight in Dublin will be as far removed a proposition as it is possible to imagine from this walk in the park. Until battles such as the one they will face against Ireland are taken on and won, the “Warren Who?” T-shirts will have to wait on the presses.

Russia have accused UK Anti-Doping of creating a `` wall of mistrust '' after its chief executive said she would fight any attempt by the World Anti-Doping Agency to seize its stock of Mo Farah 's urine and blood samples .
Nicole Sapstead last week said she would block the release of samples stored for future retesting unless there was `` credible evidence '' to suggest they contained banned substances .
