I've posted some smell related posts at other forums,
But this is really weird so I post this here.
I have some body odor problem, but besides that, I found there is a strange phenomenon.
smell from environment 'lingers' on my body or nasal passage for a long time.
One day, I had a long shower, and the smell of water was so good. You know, the smell of hot water in a cold day, it's very fresh. Since that morning, till the evening, the smell of water didn't leave my body or my nose.
I could smell the good hot water smell whole day. I thought my body absorbed the water smell and release it again. or my nose just contains the smell in nasal passage. or my brain is kidding with me.
other day, I was standing close to some alcoholic man. His stench was terrible. about half an hour he left, but I could smell the stench the whole day. I couldn't tell if others could smell it too or it was just me.
Today, I went to public bathroom. Sorry to say this, but the stench of the lady in the right cubicle was so terrible.
I myself have body odor but this was way worse. I know it wasn't me because I didn't have BM and i was odor free until I went to that bathroom.
Anyway after I got out the bathroom, I could smell it till now! it's not just leftover smell, the level and density of the smell is terrible like I'm still in that bathroom.
I'm worried others might smelled this too, but I don't know. I'm still feel like throwing up.
the most strange thing was water smell. Hot water smell is good but that kind of smell is so vague, it doesn't linger on any stuff. Bad smells usually get attached on clothes or body, because smell is carried by molecules. But, bathtub water smell? It doesn't make sense. Water smell doesn't attach on your clothes or body. Water is not garlic.
I can understand bad stench can be transferred to other stuff by air, like spice smells,
But....
I can't understand this anymore.
Maybe I'm going crazy.
