Heightened sense of smell is the bane of my existence. Some colognes and perfumes give me an instant headache. Those so-called air fresheners are just fuckin killer for me - they are not fresh at all. My wife refrains from wearing perfumes and I love her for that.
Some anatomy: the sense of smell is the only sense which is being transmitted directly to your brain cortex without going through thalamus (as all other senses).
Smell goes straight up (no pre-processing).
Humans typically have 5-6 mil olfactory (smell) receptors while dogs have 220-300 millions.
Typically, we can't smell much (compare to dogs).
I have a rather bad (low) smell perception, but every time before I have a headache, I feel weird smells. It has been going on since I was in my twenties, so quite a while.
The greatest remedy against all annoying and persistent smell sensations is to put your nose into a jar of coffee and whiff a couple of times.
It works 100% and is used in perfume salons for a reset.
I love the smell of fresh coffee! I'll have to walk around with a small jar of fresh ground and see if that helps me out.
Thanks for the information; wish I had some sMerits left to give.
Its all i have @this time but good to have a SMerit ..... but if you Already ask for anything... its just not possible for not giving it
