Navigating Smell And Taste Disorders
Paperback Edition: 1
Over 200,000 people visit doctors each year for taste and smell problems. Many of these are older adults, as when we age our ability to smell and taste decreases, so up to 14 million Americans 55 and older may live with these disorders, undiagnosed. Smell
