SMELL YA LATER

BIG health story

Blinking my eyes open, I frowned.

I was suffering with a cold and my head felt fuzzy, but I heaved myself out of bed and padded into the bathroom.

Bleary-eyed, I squeezed toothpaste onto my tooth brush and started brushing.

But as I did, a terrifying realisation washed over me.

I can’t smell.

Panicking, I desperately started sniffing, wondering if it was all in my head.
