Kapamilya star Andrea Brillantes opened up as she admitted that she was diagnosed with Congenital Anosmia.
In an interview with TV host Karen Davila on her YouTube channel, Andrea admitted that she was diagnosed with Congenital Anosmia where she was lacking the sense of smell.
“Is it true? You’ve been diagnosed with Congenital Anosmia… It means it is a rare disorder wherein Andrea does not smell in the same way…” Karen asked Andrea.
“Wala po akong pang amoy at all… Wala po talaga, as in pwede po akong ututan sa mukha… Ang meron lang ako sensation, kapag yung rubbing alcohol yung parang lalamig. Yun lang, yung mga cooling cooling pero amoy po, wala talaga.” Andrea shared.
“Kulang parin po ako ng five senses ko as in kulang parin tsaka hindi ko parin na-experience yung world kung paano niyo siya na-experience. Mahilig po ako sa pabango actually, yung ate ko, yung jowa ko, sila yung pinapaamoy ko, ‘anong amoy neto explain mo.’” Andrea added.
“Pero yung sense of taste mo kumpleto?” Karen asked Andrea.
“Saakin po kumpleto naman pero hindi ko po masasabi kasi pinanganak akong ganito so hindi ko mako-compare kung anong natitikman niyo sa natitikman ko. So hindi ko alam if kulang yung saakin. Pero sabi nila ate kulang kaya daw ako mahilig sa mga sobrang maasim, maalat, sweet… Pinaka mahirap po is panis na pagkaen kasi hindi ko alam…” Andrea shared.
“Wala po talaga akong memory ng kahit na anong amoy.” Andrea added.
