Nurse Alice on KTLA: Phantom Smells
Ever smell something that wasn’t there? Why does that happen? Let me explain.
I keep on smelling something burnt from beef and chicken
I’ve have this where I smell smoke and it comes back about once every year or two for about a few weeks or a month or so at a time. First happened about 3-4 years ago. Nothing bad, not even annoying really, just a bit strange, lol. But it just come back a few days ago and I did get covid about a month and a half ago and my taste and smell have only come back about 50%. Who knows 🤷♂️
I smell a sandwich I ate two days ago, I thought it was an odor in my body but it came back the next day. It is a very weird thing. I had COVID a week ago so I don’t know if maybe that played a part into it.

When I see someone having a cigerette in like a movie, I can smell it. It doesn’t both me, but it’s just really weird.
Omg, I smell cigarettes all the time and I’m pregnant. I hate it
I recently recovered from covid and it completely distorted my nose. I can’t smell anything at all, besides a really foul/garbage like smell. I wish it was more of burnt toast like smell, but it switches up from garbage to gasoline and it’s driving me NUTS.
I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I just can’t focus. the only way for me to sleep without this horrible smell keeping me awake is by taking melatonin. it’s horrible.
I already have horrible anxiety and this is only making it worse for me.
I’ve been dealing with this for about 2 years. It definitely started right after I took antibiotics after I supposedly has a sinus infection. I sort of lost my smell but it came right back. Though it came back I started smelling a weird smell. Not quite burnt, but then again it was sort of a burn smell, not quite stinky but just weird and annoying. I went to get checked and they put a camera in my nasals. No polyps. They had no explanation. I took a few tests to see what I was smelling on some cards. Out of 100 scents I got about 75 correct. It went away on its own after a about 2 more months. Since then I’d get it off and on. Lasting a few days or weeks then it subsides. Not sure what triggers it. Seems like when I’m anxious or excited maybe. Haven’t dealt with it for months. Now all of a sudden it’s back since yesterday. My son made coffee and from a different room I thought I smelled wood burning. Not a bad stinky burn, just burning. Ugh it’s so annoying because the smell is still here. I can smell other things but that strange odor which is THE MOST hardest to describe is still here. Absolutely mind boggling. This definitely can drive you insane. I’ve tried the olfactory reset with oils. Still no help. 😫
I sometimes smell cornstarch
This sucks literally 🙁
I forgot to say even though it hasn’t helped much, I do get relief from smelling essential oils! I was told to use 4 scents. Rose, lemon, eucalyptus and possibly cinnamon or clove I think. Also smelling my skin helps. I keep my hand right at my nose and the smell goes always for a little. Hope this helps someone.
I smell cigarette smokes, after exposing as a 3rd smoker,when my uncle is smoking near by me and then this smell aren’t leaving. I’m scared
Driving along on my way home and smelled fresh coffee. My husband called and said he was having a fresh cup of coffee…🤔

im a 10 year old male and it literally smells like what i ate maybe like 2 days ago or if i get unlucky a few months ago.
I already deal with high functioning anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and constant panic attacks. This didn’t make me feel any better 😳😭
Exhaust fumes. 😤
