A member asked:
How common is it to get ageusia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: Most of what is perceived as the sense of taste is actually derived from smell. True ageusia is relatively rare compared to hypogeusia — a partial loss of taste — and dysgeusia — a distortion or alteration of taste.
