Synesthesia is a condition of the brain which is harmless, that gives the senses a certain connection to each other. It allows stuff such as if you taste Spaghetti you could see Pink, even though Spaghetti is not pink. You could smell Licorice and hear an Oboe. You could feel a metal doorknob, and taste metal, vice versa. There are so many connections they cant be counted!
How Synethesia occurs
* After birth the neuronal wiring's in the brain are not yet specialized. They are overlapping each other. Until the forth month there is a process of pruning this connections. The failing of this process could lead to Synaesthesia. So this theory emphasizes that Synaesthesia is a result of too less neuronal inhibition. Inhibition enzymes could be involved. So basically, you can only get it from birth.
An overload could be if you go into a loud room, for example, your Synesthesia could make you very very uncomfortable! You could probably figure out why, You taste a lot of grilled cheese sandwich's listening to very loud music, or feel very smooth things while hear loud noises, etc.
Synesthesia is a very cool condition. The only harmful thing that it could possibly do is cause a small discomfort like I added above. Although, people could also have red skin, because of how you see them.
