I cook a lot and often by nose, as in I can gauge how weak or strong the seasoning of my food is by the smell, and it rarely fails me.
I also know when I’m sick or sick-ish by not smelling or not finding as pungent the odor of the nasty stuff.
You do get desensitized over time and the smells become more tolerable. I’ve met guys that can tell if a given place is going to be troublesome to clean just by smelling the odors wafting out and looking at the colour. Others never stop feeling nauseated or even gagging when some particularly nasty smells hit them.
I’m glad people do that job, but I don’t know how they can stand to do that job.
Got any questions I can answer for you?
Do you have a sense of smell. I have a buddy that got into a couple of bad accidents and can’t smell anything anymore.
I do.
