Ví dụ
He was so upset that my grandmother was called into school. When we got home, she warned: “Never use your sense of smell for that again.” She explained that I, like her, had hereditary (di truyền) hyperosmia (siêu thính lực) – a heightened genetic predisposition to detecting odours, meaning I’m a super-smeller.
After reading up on the topic, Garg came to the conclusion that she was possibly a “super-smeller” – a rare condition, medically known as hyperosmia.
One of the most extreme cases of a super-smeller to emerge in recent years – now being studied in the UK – is a Scottish woman who noticed a certain “musty (mùi mốc) smell” on her husband in the years preceding his diagnosis (chẩn đoán) with Parkinson’s disease.
Being a super-smeller means she occasionally having to take evasive (né tránh) action, like “staying away from a particular group of people because someone’s wearing a very strong perfume in a party”.
