I had the cliche phase of thinking that I was a vampire because a combination of a few things. I have a problem with my teeth where it caused my "K9s" to protrude outwards, I don't have a normally detectable pulse and I've always been able to smell other peoples blood from abnormally far away but I can never smell my own. I know now that these are things that can happen to anyone but back then, I didn't know any better.
TIL you can smell other people's blood"??? Say what?!
Yeah, blood has a smell. I don't know why but some people can't smell it at all, while some people can smell it from pretty far way. I've never tested exactly how sensitive I am to the smell but, for example, if a woman is having her time of the month, I can usually smell it from several feet away.
