Years ago my wife relayed a story of a guy that gained the temporary ability to smell on the level of a dog. It didn't last forever and faded away. Some brain injury caused it I think.
Well one of my kids works at hospital, primarily with cancer patients. One of the patients that underwent chemo had the same thing happen to him.
He is a deer hunter and he could smell the deer. Basically deer hunting for him became easy. He killed 11 deer. More than his usual three or four.
The guy could smell, water, rocks, everything including deer and where they traveled.
Man I would love to take him on a walk across my hunting grounds so he could tell me the best spots just from what he could smell.
Actually that would be most useful when hunting a new property.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

Scientists guess the dog's sense of smell is somewhere between 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute than ours. One of the reasons a dog has such better smelling ability than us is the number of scent receptors. For every scent receptor a human has, a dog has about 50.
They may have a hightened sense of smell but no way can a human being ever come close to dog level sense of smell.

You don't know that. we may only have 1/50th of the receptors which obviously puts us closer to a dogs ability to smell than what we normally utilize. So if chemo caused us to use 100% then that would get us to 1/50 of that of a dog.
But we don't know how toned down dogs nose is. If a dogs nose only operates at 1/1000 capacity and us at 1/1000000 capacity normally, then he could very well be smelling as well as a dog.
I just know this guy could smell well enough to smell a fricking rock which had a different smell to him than dirt. How much stronger was his smell, 1000 or 10000 that idk.

I ran across a YouTube video of a guy becoming a genius after he got the shite beat out of him.

Why? This has been documented before.

If a woman is around who is on her period, a man's sense of smell increases.
I can usually tell because of catsup.
If the girls at work are on the rag, the smell of catsup in the office is nauseating. And I swear someone always orders a fricking burger and fries on that week and has it delivered.
It smells like I coughed catsup out of my nose

This is a top 10 post of, "I never could have EVER imagined someone saying something remotely close to this."

Seen it happen with my own eyes before... well maybe they didn't really become a genius, but they got noticeably smarter.

Aside from the obvious bullshite in this post, who calls it catsup?

I think the likening to the dog is just an analogy that people understand.
I already have a very heightened sense of smell. Come to think of it, it wasn't always this good and did get better after I had cancer. No way I could track a deer though.
I would call it a curse if it got any better.

You're welcome to reference the science behind it.
And... People that can spell.

Actually you don’t know shite, you just repeating some stupid story your wife told you.

It's not like you can't smell bedding area when you walk up on one... most deer hunters will agree with what I'm about to type and that is if you spend enough time in the woods you will smell where a deer has been, especially during the rut.
This guy did not have superpowers. Thread

Wife recounting a published story. And my daughter telling me her firsthand account of witnessing it. So you know what you can do with your post.

When my wife was pregnant with our first kid she developed the ability of super smell.
One day I cooked a deer roast, which she ate. The next day she walks in the house and I’m eating some leftover roast and she becomes irritated by the smell. Basically chewing me out because I’m eating the roast and it’s smelling up the whole house. She can’t even stay in the house for a few hours. The day after that she actually ate more of the roast. The point of the story is women be cray cray. But when they pregnant they become super cray cray.
