I can tell when someone just passing by me has a sinus infection. Seriously.
I can smell water. So, I usually know about a leak before it presents itself.
I think my son has the same thing,
When he was little, he and his best friend had identical Batman costumes that they wore ALL the time. Occasionally they would take them off. Then, when he wanted to find his , and put it back on, he’d smell them both and say, “yep, that’s mine!”.
I have to buy everything unscented as smells can overwhelm me.
