Message definition (Zinc)
The U.S. [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) states that zinc damages nerve receptors in the nose, causing [[anosmia]]. Reports of anosmia were also observed in the 1930s when zinc preparations were used in a failed attempt to prevent [[polio]] infections. On June 16, 2009, the FDA ordered removal of zinc-based intranasal cold products from store shelves. The FDA said the loss of smell can be life-threatening because people with impaired smell cannot detect leaking gas or smoke, and cannot tell if food has spoiled before they eat it.
