To add in another couple of gruesome possibilities - and BOTH are quite rare but should be checked just for the sake of ruling them out -

1.  A blood clot or a brain tumor located in certain areas of the brain can cause olfactory hallucinations and this is well documented in medical literature.

2. A long forgotten trauma to the head can also cause a nerve to be pinched and if it's the nerve bundle carrying your sensory nerves from the nose to the brain, then it could well cause you to smell something that others do not. One woman reported smelling RAISINS (like you smell when you open a box of Raisins) for several years. She was finally given a course of steroids to relieve swelling and inflammation elsewhere, and the raisin smell went away.

NB:  Mankind does not have a great sense of smell. However we can react to and identify concentrations of less than 1 part per  MILLION in air. (Cats and Dogs can go something like 1 or parts per trillion in terms of concentrations they can detect.)

However sometimes an individual becomes hyper-sensitized to one type of scent or another. If that happens, they can react to and identify odors with concentrations below one part per quad-trillion.  (Insanely low concentration.)  No one has an explanation of why this may happen or what causes it to resolve. But it does usually go away on it's own, without treatment, in about six weeks or a little bit less.

Original Message Kind of smells like burnt hair or burning wires. I just started smelling it a few minutes ago.

I went outside , walked around keep smelling the same thing.

Is something wrong with me?

No one else I ask smells it.

Should I be worried?
