That's fascinating, I didn't know that!

After reading all these posts on this thread I can only say that something smells here. Maybe there's too many in one room causing a "PU". LOL

I'm deafblind so my nose takes over. When I say scent I don't necessarily mean a pungent smell, I just mean that people have distinct scents.

I guess everyone but me. I've been told by many people that I have no sense at all.

Then I guess hungry babies really aren't confused at a wet t-shirt contest.

Don't worry studedude, you're not alone. My wife is smell-blind too. She can't even smell when our dog takes a crap. The only way she knows is if she sees it. I told her that's okay, between the two of us, I can tell her when he crapped and she can tell me where it is so I don't step in it.
