I threw out my box before I even knew there was a relationship. I had the virus
and frankly can not remember taking the whole box! But it really doesn't make a
difference as I would like to have my senses back. It is getting so that I only
enjoy belly filling foods (carbs) and we all know what the results of that can
be. On the good side, I do show some improvements but not on a regular daily
basis.

keep most of my receipts, since I own a business, so it’s habit. I did go to
an ENT for my loss of smell and had an MRI at the cost of $2100 done, along with
steriod shots and various other meds- which never helped. The last time I saw
my ENT I left his office in tears, as he pretty much told me to just “get over
it “ and move on.

But, companies like Zicam need to be responsible for allowing this to continue.
They knew there was a problem, when they paid out 12 MILLION dollars in damages.
No warning to the consumer!!! That's wrong!

investigated as soon as ONE person lost their smell. I am so grateful my smell
has returned, and feel badly so many others suffered as a result of a
so-called-homeopath ic remedy. Although my anosmia was caused by a virus, and
not Zicam, I can relate. I know there was a settlement from the company, but NO
amt. of money can ever compensate for such a loss.(the settlement issue was
pointed out to me by a person who has NO clue what anosmia is, and said how nice
it must be to get a chunk of $ for such a "minor" thing!) Imagine- minor. Best
to everyone out there. Pat
