I didn't used to get

sick though back then from smells, I was just highly sensitive.

My mom too.

She is a nurse and cold tell just by passing by a room if someone had

sudapneumonia (sp?).

A great tool but it drove her crazy. Nurses never diagnosis and all that ...

But sometimes the doctors used to put her in front of difficult patients to

see if she could sniff out the diagnosis!

LOL!

Pseudomonas...a type of infection......that is precisely what I was talking

about but didn't want to go into great deal of description......but i can tell

types of infections, or conditions just by their odor. That is why I know

exactly what infection you were talking about. A great tool when you are a

nurse.

Hugs,

Yes she always said it was a curse and a blessing all at the same time,

She tells a great story about the first time in the OR during her training.

It was a questioned burst something and when my mom walked in she whispered

" wow " . The patient had not even been gassed and she could actually smell the

infection that was inside the patients belly!

OK. ... enough of that yummy stuff!

LOL!
