In conditions called parosmia and phantosmia , people smell odors that aren't there.  (Apparently, parosmia means that one odor is perceived as another odor.  Phantosmia seems to be where a person smells an odor even though there's nothing to smell.)  I'm not a doctor, but I think it makes sense to check with a primary care physician or an ear-nose-and-throat specialist.  You could also look at this Yahoo health group .

Thanks for all the fish!

Having a copper-y smell all the time could be a sign of diabetes. Consult with your doctor asap.
