  USE ZICAM? Three of their over-the-counter cold remedy products have been linked to anosmia, or the loss of the sense of smell.  The FDA says the condition is associated with Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs and the discontinued product Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size.  The loss of smell from using the medications can be long-term or permanent.  According to the FDA, more than 130 reports of anosmia have been linked to the Zicam items.  Many who experienced loss of smell say it occurred with the first dose of the product, while others report it took place after multiple uses.  A warning letter has been issued to the maker of Zicam cold remedies saying they cannot be marketed without the approval of the FDA.

As a motorist or a passenger, there are some steps to become more aware of motorcyclists.

Respect the motorcyclist:
Remember the motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the privileges of any vehicle on the roadway. Give the motorcyclist a full lane of travel.

Look out:
Look for the motorcyclist on the highway, at intersections, when a motorcyclist may be making a left turn, and when a motorcyclist may be changing lanes. Clearly signal your intentions.

Anticipate a motorcyclist's maneuver:
Obstructions (debris, potholes, etc.) that you may ignore or not notice can be deadly for a motorcyclist. Predict evasive actions.

Allow plenty of space:
Don't follow a motorcycle too closely. Allow enough room for the motorcyclist to take evasive actions.
