According to the FDA, there have been more than 130 reports of loss of the sense of smell after using Zicam products. These zinc-based products include the nasal gels and nasal swabs.
If this was a temporary loss, it wouldn't be so bad, but there seems to be no way to reverse the action. Those afflicted appear to have permanently lost their sense of smell.
130 people is a small percentage of those who have used the products, but even one is too many if it's you!
I think I'd rather have a few days of congestion than take the risk, how about you?
