Smelling something that isn't there
Lately I get a very strong scent of wet paint. It's the weirdest thing ever I'm at work or at home and all of a sudden it's like someone is painting the place. Anyone else ever get have this happen?

That can't be a good thing. Have you had any other symptons? Have you started a new med?

Does it smell like ammonia? Have you been working out more than usual?

Does the smell cause you to get erections at inappropriate times?

No ammonia just paint. Like latex based paint.

I have heard of a guy who smelled toast all the time.
Turns out he had a brain tumor. But that seems like a really unlikely thing in your case. |

Get someone else to smell your breath, and if they can smell wet paint, well maybe stop drinking the stuff. No seriously talkt o the doc because it can be indacative of some bad liver/kidney/things.
I hope it is not a neurological thing. I had this weird thing where I could feel a liquid running over my feet, and it's not what you are thinking. I thought it was pretty groovy but my GF was a neurological nurse and said BAD, VERY BAD. |

Not casting stones or making ANY insinuations...
Phantom taste and smell during opioid withdrawal -- is there a way to stop it? - WebAnswers.com Maybe try the zinc pills and see if that works? Don't know if giving up something else would cause the same problems?

Frontal lobe brain injury can cause this, I am recovering from a significant brain injury and have lost my sense of taste and smell. Sometimes I get weird things like smell copper and some things taste like soap. Don't ignore it, see a doctor.
I hope you are fine.

All liberals, and Norwegian bachelor farmers in MN, smell the aroma of latex paint. Time to come out of the closet, slak.

I believe this condition is called phantom smells:
Phantom smells may be a sign of trouble - The Body Odd I would be inclined to make an appointment with a doc to get it checked out.
