If you would have to loose a sense...

no. they are connected, there are a lot of tastebuds in your nose, but although it would damage your taste, it would not ruin it.

Well I wouldn't want my taste damaged. D:
Especially when eating McDonalds. ;D

"According to Dr Alan Hirsch of the Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, 90% of what is perceived as taste is actually smell. "

No, there are a lot of olfactory bulbs in the nose as well as the olfactory epithelium. Actual taste buds occur on the tongue and back of the throat. They are not physically connected, the only connection they have together is in the perception of flavor. Taste itself is elicited by taste bud receptors firing and therefore sending a message to their brain while olfaction (smelling) contributes to the perception of flavor. However there are other different receptors also working together to cause the sensation of flavor in foods.

*Lose, not loose, loose is when something isn't tight, or something like that ex: "My pants are loose."


Anyways, I'd lose my speaking, being deaf is like depressing, blind is like the end of the world, and speaking is idk... So speaking it is, I'd go around with a paper and a pen and write down what I need to say...

Mute.

Lol, true, should've been hear, touch, smell & taste.

[Khelddar]

Smell, I think it might actual be helpful no being able to smell certain things.

Other than that mute, I think it wouldn't be to bad not having to talk to people
