I miss the smell of my son's hair

Years ago I remember a school experiment where we wore blindfolds to pretend to be blind and, on another occasion, wearing headphones to experience being deaf. However, I don't remember (1) (talk) about not having a sense of smell. In fact, I wasn't aware that some

people couldn't smell (2)_ I met Max Christian. Max is a congenital anosmic--which means he was born without a sense of smell. This condition (3) (call) anosmia. And in the US alone there are over two million people who have it. Some were born that way, but most developed it as a result of an illness of injury.

One of the worst implications of having no sense of smell is a significant loss of taste. The taste of food is a combination of sensations from your tongue and, much more importantly, the smell of gases from (4) you are chewing. "Water, apple juice, onion juice. Never (5) I tell the difference between them!" Max admits.

Day-to-day life also gets a lot more dangerous without the warnings (6) (provide) by a sense of smell. Think of the times you've left something on the oven for too long. The first sign of what an anosmic gets is the smoke. And have you ever checked the freshness of milk by smelling it? “I’ve been off work sick countless times (7)food poisoning," says another sufferer.

Congenital anosmics are often quite practical about then sense of smell. (8) they’ve never had one, they can’t miss it. But for some, especially those who have developed anosmia later in life, the effect can be very upsetting and lead to serious depression. "I miss the smell of my son's hair, the smell of roses... and even snow," says the personal account of a woman (9) hued injury left her an anosmic. "I feel like not smelling has left me (10) (miss) a part of life that everyone else takes for granted."

Deadly virus approaches tigers

India’s most important tiger-conservation body is to investigate growing concern that Asia’s wild tigers are 1 to a deadly new disease.

The National Tiger Conservation Authority is to fund a study of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) in six of the most important areas for species, which could confirm a problem that a few experts have 2 for a number of years.

There have been 3 of CDV in wild tigers in other parts of their range. Conservationists working in the Russian Far East believe it has affected Amur tigers there since 2004.

According to Dr Dale Miquelle of the Wildlife Conservation Society, a number of tigers were either killed or seriously affected by, a disease that was probably CDV in 2010. And the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve has reported a(n) 4 decline in tiger numbers.

CDV may also exist in the tiger population in Sumatra, where animals have been reported to be behaving 5 and losing their fear of humans.

Dr John Lewis, of the British charity Wildlife Vets International, is helping the Sumatran 6 to fight the risk by training local vets in what he calls “the world’s first tiger-disease monitoring programme.”

Lewis also believes that the way CDV changes behavior could be a factor where tiger-human 7 are an issue.This could be true of the Sundarbans, a large area shared by India and Bangladesh where man-eating is spreading. Lewis hopes to begin monitoring there soon.

Perhaps we should not be surprised that tigers are 8 with CDV. In 2004, it killed 1,000 lions in the Serengeti in Tanzania, and as wildlife reserves are 9 surrounded by people with dogs, the problem is only likely to get worse.
