UM-Bot Posted March 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Scientists have determined that the human nose is far more capable than previously believed. The widely held belief that we can only distinguish up to 10,000 different smells has been blown out of the water in a new report this week that suggests the real number may be closer to 1 trillion.

Hawken Posted March 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hmmm,1 trillion odours. One things for certain, I don't like to be in a room where everyone has had a bowl of chilli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regeneratia Posted March 25, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) My skin has an odor when my blood sugar gets a little high. I am not diabetic. It does, however, run in the family. I can smell something on my arms, after a night's sleep, that tells me I need to cut down on the carbs for a couple of days. I cut down on the carbs and take chromium and magnesium immediately upon smelling that odor. The worst smell I have ever experienced has happened quite a few times. That smell is when people poop blood. When combined with liver failure, the smell is enough to make you faint.

:PsYKoTiC:BeHAvIoR: Posted March 25, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I don't think any human being will be able to smell a trillion different odors in a lifetime anyway. I doubt I reached the initial ten thousand to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
