Okay, so the brain fact is about a woman who could smell Parkinson's disease.

I found this really, really fascinating.

This actually came out a couple of years ago, but I haven't shared it on the podcast. And if you haven. I found this really, really fascinating. This actually came out

a couple of years ago, but I haven't shared it on the podcast. And if you haven't heard of this

story, it is fascinating. So it's this woman from Scotland. Her name is Joy Milne. And she's considered

to be a super smeller. And the medical term for that is hyper osmere. So it's just people that have a really heightened sense of smell.

And they kind of compare it to like something between a human and a dog,

something that sits in the middle as far as their ability to smell things.

So she has the ability to smell Parkinson's disease.

It just remained.

And about roughly 10 years later, he got diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

When he was about 44, 45, he got diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. When he was about 44, 45, he got diagnosed with

Parkinson's disease. So she also states that as the years went on, as these 10 years progressed,

that smell got stronger and stronger and stronger. She not only did it not go away, but it was

more intense and she just wasn't getting used to it. She could smell it all the time. So she claims that it's this heavy, musky smell that is kind of

like a thick smell, if you can imagine something like that. Anyway, one day after her husband,
