Summary Introduction
To review:
The rationale behind decrease in the sense of taste when a person suffers from cold.
Introduction:
When a person catches cold, it is noticed that the sense of taste is decreased for that person. This phenomenon is temporary and the sense of taste is back to its original level once the cold is gone. This phenomenon can be explained by the role of olfactory epithelium in the sense of taste.
