I am very pleased I stumbled on this site
only to find many, many people experience
the same problem that I do. I continually
experience a very strong smell of wood
smoke. Some days it I ask other people if
they too can smell the strong smoke and
the answer is always NO. It is so strong
sometimes that it is like being in a very
small room with a smoky log fire.
I find it very annoying and tiring. Has
anyone found a solution to this problem.
I have asked my Dr. but he has not heard
of anyone with this problem.

Is anything else happening with you when
you smell the smoke? Any loss of time or
feelings of daydreaming, any deja vu?

Wow, I had no idea that other people
suffered with this. I have had it over a
year, the smoke smell is getting so bad
that I feel like I can't breathe when I
have to take a deep breath, all my food
taste like smoke and I am about to lose my
mind because of this! I keep reading about
sinus and allergy problem's can cause this
smell, but does anyone have any other info
on this, I am desperate!!!

Do you have anything else that is
happening? They may occur at different
times. Any sudden, random flashes of
memory, deja vu, lapses of time where you
have no memory of what just happened,
confusion? These are all indications of
seizures. Smelling smoke can be an aura
that is experienced before a seizure. A
seizure presents in many ways, not just in
the classic grand mal (now called tonic
clonic) seizure. Sudden rapid eye blinking
for a few seconds can be a seizure.
Momentary lapses in time can be a seizure.
If you think you experience any of this go
see a neurologist.

I've been smelling burning wood on and off
for a couple of years now. I have the
sensation right now and have for about 5
days. I smell it at work. I smell it at
home. When I stand in my back yard in the
breeze, for some reason it diminishes.
Although the moment I go back in the house
I smell it. I have "Febreezed" my house
although my husband and dad say they can't
smell a thing. My sister (lives next
door) and brother think I'm nuts. I think
I recall that once I read that brain
tumors can cause you to smell burning
things and coffee and such. But I don't
know where it's coming from...all the
tests I've had don't reveal anything. I
guess I just have to live with it.
