Duftstofferne will never not in contact with lugteorganet.
The second group is due to the suffering of the lugteorganet, in the nerve, which leads nervesignalet from the nose and on to the brain or in the part of the brain, which interprets duftindtryk. It may be due to birth defects, arteriosclerosis , pernicious anaemia fractured skull, brain tumours , Following the meningitis , Poisoning with, for example. lead, after radiotherapy, by big tobacco and the use of næsedråber that contain neomycin.
