You Smell Terrified

“The smell of fear really does exist – and it may be catching, researchers say. A study has shown that we can subconsciously detect when others are scared simply from the chemicals released from their skin. Scientists who made the discovery believe the signals can spread a ripple of fear through a group. The findings add to the growing evidence that our sense of smell is far more sophisticated that many of us realise – and that humans can detect and react to pheromones released by others.” w/ photos
