How would life on Earth change if everyone permanently lost their sense of smell and taste?

[GSP_37]

Mother Nature gave humans smell and taste senses to help humans avoid ingesting poisons, so many would die if can't smell/taste.

More people would eat pussy, that's for sure.

And also get very sick from it.

starting tomorrow. Would the stock market crash due to all fast food places going out of business? Would people unknowingly walk around with poo on their hands after not washing properly? Would forest fires become the most dangerous thing ever?

Go to France and see.

You rely on your sense of smell and taste to make sure you don’t have shit on your hands?
Try using your sight and practice wiping your ass more.

Omg chill doggie chill

How often are you shitting on your hands?!

The fragrance industry would be no more.

But more serious consequences... smell is one of the senses we use to identify when something is not right and so is taste.

• There'd be poorer hygiene and possible infections that weren't immediately detected and I think there'd be more health problems.

• People would eat food that's gone bad and get sick much more frequently from that as well.

• Gas leaks would be a son of a bitch.

at least 50% of the population have no taste, like the saggy pants guys.

I could make loads of money selling different textured food...... because that's all you could enjoy.

I could figuratively and literally stomach Alphabet cereal becoming Braille cereal.

Good riddance.

Somehow the zombie apocalypse in movies seem to have destroyed people’s sense of smell. Guys walk in house, thinks it’s clear, only to be ambushed by a walking cadaver that has been rotting for a few years.
