A member asked:
Smelled a strong smell a couple hours ago and still smell/taste it from time to time right now? anything serious?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing serious: Sometimes disagreeable odors will persist for a period of time. This may be due to organic molecules hanging around your nasal passages or just a memory phenomenon.

Not sure: What is the question? Are you asking whether there is a medical issue with you and your brain due to a smell/taste perception or are you asking if the the smell you are smelling is of a dangerous nature (ie a gas leak, a fire or other dangerous situation). Please provide more info
