I have a hypersensitive sense of taste and smell. I can't handle being around almost all synthetic fragrances. In February, my GF took an air trip to Vancouver BC from Portland. When she returned we both fell ill for 5-8 days. I lost my sense of smell, which was very noticeable to me because usually I smell dryer sheets, detergent and her shampoo. About a month after that I was hospitalized, and subsequently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
