Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 The discussion about fainting and odour brought me to bring this up. Being generally a hypoglacimic with a low blood pressure blessed me with a long history of " black outs " , fainting, and nearly fainting. Whenever that happened, I always sensed an intense scent of radish (almost like horseradish) just when the " seeing black started " . I already warned my boyfriend that if my dying words will be " Tznon " (=radish in Hebrew) it should be no mystery to him and explained him why LOL. I am wondering if there is any scientific explanation to that which any of you are aware of - any chemical that increases in the blood when we faint and that happens to be in large quantities in the radish family? I haven't researched it yet (and I presume that my GP might have a readily available answer to that) but am wondering if anyone had a similar experience.
