Aug. 23, 2018 -- Some say they bite into a sandwich that suddenly smells like a burnt cigarette. Others report smelling burnt rubber and can't figure out where the stench is coming from. In a better-case scenario, the smell of peaches fills their nose 24/7, proving that too much of even a pleasant odor can make you feel a little wacky.
It all may sound like a Saturday Night Live skit in the making.
But doctors and those affected say these phantom odors are real -- and troubling. The medical term is phantosmia.
