Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 My sister and I were talking about that the other day. Women who bath in perfume. She like me has a sensitive smeller. She was eating dinner at a function and had to move. I noticed that while I was on treatment, I could not stand the smell of food cooking. Any food. I don't care what it was. Now food smells great. I like to use lots of spices and I have one of the best houses on the block when I am cooking supper. LOL It is a good thing when I am trying to copy a recipe from a resturant, because I can smell the different seasonings and have become a pretty good cook because of it.

I noticed that it was getting bad for me years ago when I was still working - and was trapped in an elevator with a woman who used WAY too much perfume - I nearly gagged. Then I started noticing EVERY SMELL. It got to the point where I had to change over to all natural/unscented cleaning or personal care products and had to hold my breath going up and down certain aisles in the grocery store. It's gotten MUCH better since I changed my diet and don't notice it nearly as much. Good luck! In a message dated 4/19/2008 11:47:27 P.M.

(told Ya',..weird) LOLOur electric clothes-dryer once had a bracket break that caused the heating-element to ground-out, making it get hot beyond control, I 'smelled-something-odd' inside of the house and investigated, found the outside of the dryer to be VERY hot and unplugged it.The repair-person said that it would've caused a fire had I not noticed it in time.So, having a 'Super-Smeller' kept Our house from burning once here.Not too shabby eh-? > > > You know, with my past drug history, I was so upset > > when I had to go on pain meds 2 years ago, but it was what I > needed > > to do in order to function and live.> > > > > > One of the doctors understood and he told me not to worry > about > > it then.
