I have a super power now.
It's awesome! Kinda...
I got asthmatic bronchitis, and as such, I had to quit smoking for a while. (Hopefully longer) I was put on an inhaler, and 3 different kinds of large pills. The side effect from this is that I now have super sensitive smelling!
It started with the ladies in my office... normally I smell perfume, or lunch or a candle or whatever, only if it is really strong, now I am smelling everything. I can smell the hairspray from 2 cubes over. I can smell the bread from 3 cubes over from someone's lunch... YESTERDAY, sitting in the bottom of their trashcan. Someone made coffee this morning down the hall and behind 3 closed doors, and I could smell it.
Until now, it has never occurred to me how closely scent and taste are combined. I had some Chinese food for lunch today, my favorite all time food, General Tso's chicken. It was different. It was horrible. Everything tasted like fish, everything that had previously been my favorite food was now disgusting.
I can't walk by someone that had smoked... at all ... ever in their life, or I would know it. I was immediately aware that they were a smoker. I walked by someone inside a store today and knew in an instant that they had just smoked a menthol cigarette.
Outside smells so much better than inside, I stood outside today for 5 minutes and just inhaled. It was amazing.
I think that I am going to go to the police dept tomorrow and apply for a job as a bloodhound. I have been working on my bark.... Still needs work.
Anyone else ever develop superpowers? Super-Sight, Ultra-Hearing, Can you shoot lasers out of your nipples?
