A study conducted by the University of East Anglia and Fifth Sense reveals that individuals with olfactory dysfunction face significant safety concerns, with over a third experiencing gas safety scares and food safety issues in the past five years. The research emphasizes the impact of smell loss on personal safety and emotional well-being, highlighting the need for safety measures such as 'scratch and sniff' cards for safety education and the use of detectors to enhance the well-being of those with smell disorders.
