SMELL AND TASTE

Did you know that human beings can neither smell nor taste a substance that is not soluble. On a dry tongue, sugar has no taste. In a dry nose, the smell of a flower would not be noticed. Anything to be smelled must float in the air.

Anosmia
is the inability to smell.

Ageusia is the inability to taste.
