Strange smell: Zinc is related to our sense of smell and taste. See your doc to rule out medical conditions and ask about getting your zinc level measured. If low you can supplement. An excellent micronutrient lab test is from Spectracell lab inTX, which measures lots more than zinc. Peace and good health.
