Ennis, I used Zicam at the onset of a cold and lost all sense of taste and
smell, had Cat Scan, no problem there, I saw an EENT and he could find
nothing wrong, except the Zicam. There are alot of us out there. I
contacted the clinic in Denver and they also have Zicam users with the same
concerns. Dr. Davidson at UCSD does also. My pharmacy has a note up
saying if you are buying Zicam, see the pharmacist. They know what I have
been through. This is not over. The product is not safe. annabel20

ennis i was amazed to read yor post today, i too used zicam nasal spray
when i had a cold and like you ,bam, everything gets all messed up. i had
wondered if that may have caused my problem ? i do remember that my nose
did burn so very bad, i cant remember though if it was before of after i
used the zicam nasal spray. i think it is well worth telling everyone not
to use the stuff if you have a cold , i wish i had never used it, i am
very
phantom anosmic, i guess that is the way you would say it. thanks for the
information, i would be very interested if there others out the that can
share their story on zicam.
