There is a fairly common misconception that if you smell something that is not there (such as burnt toast) it is a sign of a stroke. This is not true. However, because a stroke can occur in any region of the brain, the sense of smell can be affected. Rather than smelling something that isn't there, though, it's more likely that the ability to smell anything will be hindered or that your response to smells is altered.
Because I am a genius, I picked it up and burned the side of my index finger. I immediately put it under cold running water for ten minutes or so. My husband was still in the kitchen and said the plate was so hot it shattered when it started to cool down! He put a bandaid on my finger and then I put an ice pack on it for the rest of the night. Anytime it wasn't on the icepack it really hurt. Today it doesn't hurt at all but all the nerves are dead in the burned area. There are no blisters and it is white.
