The following are disorders of olfaction, or sense of smell:
* Anosmia - lack of ability to smell
* Cacosmia - things smell like feces
* Dysosmia - things smell differently than they should
* Hyperosmia - an abnormally acute sense of smell.
* Hyposmia - decreased ability to smell
* Olfactory Reference Syndrome - psychological disorder which causes the patient to imagine he has strong body odor
* Parosmia - things smell worse than they should
* Phantosmia - "hallucinated smell," often unpleasant in nature
A person who can't smell is anosmic.

deaf and blind
This riddle is often answered as "nothing." The blind man can see nothing, the deaf man can hear nothing, and if you eat nothing, you die of starvation.
It really depends, but it would be bad to be either. If you are blind, you can' see. You have to have some one read to you and you need to be able to recognize people's voices instead of their faces. It can be hard to learn too. Same with being deaf. And it would be hard to understand people. But a lot of people would rather be blind. Why? Because at least you can hear, smell, and actually learn a little bit more then when you are deaf. But if you ever get blind or deaf, don't ask these questions.
Helen Keller became blind and deaf at the age of 19 months due to an illness that was likely scarlet fever or meningitis. This illness affected her ability to see, hear, and speak, but she went on to achieve great success despite these challenges.
