Brief mention of #LongCovid in the context of hyperosmia / smell sensitivity in the French movie A Private Life starring Jodie Foster. (of course in a seemingly functional person that is able to work, but still, always interesting to see it mentioned out there in the wild)

I have hyperosmia too so I'm 200% with your sister! I made the mistake once... never again.

Yeah but I don’t like any type of air freshener or anything in the vehicle for extended time due to hyperosmia. I can smell people’s body wash/deodorant/soap when they walk in the office.

My beloved sassy queen in the closet.

Pretending hyperosmia in order to sniff poppers whenever you want. What a power move.

You will be missed but never forgotten.

Researching a symptom, as we now must. Hyperosmia is a heightened sense of smell, usually temporary. Can cause migraines, can be apparently imaginary scents. For me, it's like kitchen scents got cranked up. Compost, trash can, even opening the fridge is woooah. Great fun, do not recommend. 👎

I have hyperosmia and durian is one of the scents I’m ultra sensitive to and it’s like someone stuffed a thousand rotting corpses up my nose

Ah, got it. Thanks. When you said increasing sensitivity to fragrance I thought you might be referring to something like hyperosmia. It's frustrating how many things have fragrance added!

If I was there and didn't have hyperosmia I would gladly clean it up.

I beg please just let me get my period atp because the premenstrual hyperosmia is driving me INSANE like why does everything smell so LOUD

In MD our air quality is purple. I have hyperosmia (and asthma & MCAS, yay). I can smell the smoke inside the house but it smells like wood smoke and chicken noodle soup to me. So weird.

I got carried away making Pokémon headcanons. 😆 The first is my trainer team (psychic/fairy) and is themed around using my disabilities to fight; their names are each disability referenced. The 2nd 2 are ones I’d wanna have for household convenience purposes; their names are why. Last is a bonus. 😂💖

we get it, you have hyperosmia. I sympathise, and I'm sorry you don't get to hang out with weird little guys™️

but maybe stop acting like it's everyone else who's an outlier here

I'm autistic with hyperosmia. Light def bothers me too but smells can easily overwhelm me.

Joy Milne is able to detect Parkinson's due to her condition of hyperosmia, giving her an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
Woman who can smell Parkinson's disease describes moment she realised her husband had it
Joy Milne told The UK Tonight With Sarah-Jane Mee about how her rare condition of hyperosmia, an incredibly sensitive sense of smell, helped her sniff out the disease in her late husband, Les.

I'm mostly light, noise, and touch sensitive. I don't have experience with hyperosmia but it doesn't sound fun 😭

Migraine Hyperosmia is like being in the omegaverse. I can identify close family and friends blindfolded, tell you perfume notes with scary accuracy, and sadly projectile vomit in a GP waiting room if you're wearing a designer knock off 😵 this moring has been fun

Or the gaseous lifeforms in Spider Robinson's Telempath, to which humanity is oblivious until a mad scientist curses humanity with hyperosmia.

(There's a suggestion late on in the book that they're visible on radar, but I think we can disregard that.)

New house rule, the person with genetic and hormonal hyperosmia (who has detected multiple pilot light outages and gas leaks!) is not the person who sprays the flower garden down with soap-garlic-cinnamon-peppermint oil critter deterrent after it rains.

Ohno.

The hero of my thriller has hyperosmia...

Read a thriller all about illegal tree poaching in Cambodia in pursuit of the fragrant power of oud.

Sometimes you have to personally experience something to believe it. I was exposed to strong cleaning chemicals recently that irritated my eyes and skin. Since that event I have a greatly heightened sense of smell. It's called hyperosmia, feels like wearing glasses for the first time.

For one day, I wish every smoker could experience having hyperosmia to know the nausea and discomfort those of us with the condition feel when they walk into a subway train right after smoking.
