Super smellers, hyperosmia.
Posted by Davidmc on 22/10/2022, 8:33:48
I was fascinated by the recent story about the Scottish woman and former nurse who had the ability to identify by smell people who had Parkinson’s disease. As a nurse she could also identify other people with certain diseases This has led to the possibility of earlier diagnosis of the condition. She proved in tests to be highly accurate in her findings. She has what is called hyperosmia and as such is what is known as a super smeller. There was a lot of discussion of this online with other people stating that they had noted particular smells associated with certain conditions. This brings me to the point of my post. One person reported on social media that she had a colleague with coeliac disease who she described as having a quite unpleasant soupy smell and that when she adhered to the GF diet the smell disappeared. Make of this what you wish. I’m not sure that I’d wish to be a super smeller.
