a laugh (and maybe a warning)

Got this from my Gma in an email forward.  Not funny...but written in a very funny manner. Condensed for your reading pleasure.


About 10 days ago, I felt a cold coming on; so before I went to bed I
used Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel.
It literally felt like I had sprayed pepper spray directly into my brain. It burned all the way to the top of my skull.
After about a day, I realized I couldn't taste anything and I thought,
"Wow - I must really have a bad cold."  Then I noticed that I couldn't
smell coffee brewing, couldn't smell my perfume when I put it on,
couldn't smell the popcorn I burned, couldn't smell my favorite candle.
I panicked and starting smelling everything that I could find that had
really strong odors - ammonia, finger nail polish remover, bleach, etc.
I couldn't smell ANYTHING! I started tasting everything that had really
strong tastes such as HOT salsa, raw red onions, Doritos, coffee. I
couldn't taste ANYTHING!


I went to my ENT but he told me to "take this(prednisone)and pray."

I LITERALLY CANNOT SMELL
OR TASTE ANYTHING!

The email closed with a WARNING-throw away Zicam. If this is true I feel sorry for this person, but maybe they will find purpose in life as a comedian b/c the way they wrote this stuff is rich. Good night and stay away from the drugs. 

I just can't help but picture a very panicked individual frantically smelling everything that has "really strong odors". Then eating Doritos. Then going to the doctor to be told "take this and pray".
