Eh, it's okay, but thank you. :) If you have to lose a sense smell is the one. It's a genetic abnormality that you'll find in some Appalachian families so I'm not even particularly unusual among my kin.

I'll smell food cooking at restaurants and feel more disgusted than not, even for stuff I'd generally enjoy all the time.
> Pretty crazy how human biology works.
