Super Sniffers

Ok, this is crazy... I heard a story on the radio the other day about a woman who can smell disease. In her case, her husband's Parkinsons. She didn't know what she was smelling in the beginning, but when she was in a support group for Parkinson patients, she recognized the same smell in them. There is a term for people who can do this: super sniffers.

Apparently we are training dogs to smell disease. Amazing.
