blocking your sense of smell?
i was wondering if its possible
i am unable to find much information on it at the moment so i would appericiate it if anybody could help me on this
i know that Anosmia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anosmia
is where you are unable to smell, so you have a great enough lack of olfaction
perhaps if there was some drug or something perhaps like that, that would stop your smell receptors, then it would make it where you couldnt smell
perhaps you guys know more 
all your help will be helpful *hence it being help... haha*
bleh sorry im on a comp with out spell check

Well, H2S is notorious for knocking out the sense of smell at high concentrations - many people have died because it knocked out their ability to
smell it, so they assumed that they had got away from the gas whereas in reality they were still breathing it in.
Never accept that which can be changed.

As if the chemical in a novel exists? Are you trolling?

I guess it doesn't
but i thought the book was based on all this true stuff and yatta yatta
but i guess i might be wrong about that
I read the book in 6th grade, and now its 9th so i guess it might not even be the case

I guess the napkins are salmiack AKA NH4Cl which fucks up the dogs receptors. I remember reading or hearing it from somewhere that NH4Cl is a good dog
repellant.

Sal ammoniac (WTF is "salmiack"?), proper name ammonium chloride, is a stable salt. Ammonium carbonate (or is it bicarbonate?) is used as "smelling
salts", and may in fact be what you are thinking of.

Formaldehyde
For this very reason it was actually a component of "Air Fresheners ".

You could stick "miracle fruit" up your nose with interesting results.
